Skirting the edges

 

Can we stop circling?

Always skirting the edges

of this thing,

can we just dive in?

Let those words touch

for the first time

instead of always

missing the next line,

because it may be frightening.

 

Can we not hide behind

synonyms, or metaphor.

Let us just call it what it is,

let’s stop avoiding

knocking on loves door.

Let’s drum away

and let our heart wings beat

as our bodies soar.

 

Can we stop hiding feelings

in mystical meaning?

Leaving fleeting mentions

in pieces of writing we know

our hearts are reading.

Hiding behind fear,

for fear is an illusion,

and if we see this all to its conclusion

without sharing our hearts

then is it all for nothing?

Let’s just take this road,

instead of devouring the maps,

let’s walk forward

and not look back.

 

I can feel the beat of the stars singing

and hear the words they are saying

“Just let them in, don’t fear what could be,

for it could be anything, it could be beautiful,

it could make your stars sing”

 

Can we stop avoiding the glances,

hiding our longing in the long grass?

Can we admit that love exists

and it could be along our path?

Can we cease putting stop signs

in front of our feet?

Let them take that leap 

into the unknown.

And yeah, I know we could get hurt,

we could be wrong

but we won’t know

until the end of the song,

surely it is better to sing along

than to sit in the shadows wondering

if our voices

would have harmonised.
