The green, white and orange speaks

Gift yourself silence
from voices that
punishingly enlarge what
you could not be

Gift yourself space
to dance with abandon…
not shrinking or squeezing
between structured beams

Gift yourself love
and tenderness away from
metallic judging
eyes tearing spirits down

Gift yourself freedom
wings untied from strings…
winning little matches
with unworthy mights

Hold freedom strong
the truthful heart,
will rise in flight
with magic winds…
In time.
It’s just a matter of time.
