My Spirit


Dave Oakes


Flying into my life riding on a cloud of passion
On a flight toward the destiny my Karma awaits
Boring inside with smoky tendrils of smoky haze
Understanding every part of my loves and my hates.
A ghost with no substance or do I just not yet see
This spirit wraps his arms around my heart and soul
Forcing me to walk in the shadows I feared for so long
Fear drips away as their warmth makes me full.
Terribly confused, it’s just so much to take on faith
How can I ever know what is mirage and what is real
It gets so frustrating trying to sort out all that is right
My head tells me how wrong though it’s not how I feel.
How does he know just what I’m feeling all the time
Did he ride in and already know that my soul was his
I am so overwhelmed by this knowledge he possesses
Has my life been pointed from birth to bring me to this.
How completely my eyes have been newly opened now
Seeing for the first time how little I have seen of myself
Feelings I’ve know but would never allow to breathe
The door is now opened my soul no longer on the shelf.
All the times I denied that my spirit could possibly know
Those dark little corners I’ve hid so well from even me
Yet, with all that I learn I seem to have more that I must see
The more honest I become the more I know what will be.
Layers peel off that have been wrapped up in chains
Invisible threads that held me impotently at bay
Growing so large the chains no longer can hold me down
No more in the dark, but from light showing the way.
I now also float among those gossamer spiritual steeds
Having opened my self up to face my truth and reality
Hanging on to my spirit as we soar far above the crowd
My heart so full of my spirit who has come to set me free.
