Authentic You...
starlight
When you speak from your own voice...
I hear the authentic you...
Not the one pretending...
But the one that is honest and true...
When you speak with the words of others...
Immediately I feel the wall...
That you have placed between us...
Disconnecting our awe...
When we look for truth outside our-self...
It always ends up being unreal...
Caught in a web of pretending...
We forget to really feel...
We hide from the truth that we’re human...
We deny our reality as such...
We turn away from our presence of being...
And use our beliefs as a crutch...
When we live in the world of experience...
And acknowledge what it is that we feel...
Dancing in darkness our own light of day...
Our tangled lives truly can heal...
Unresolved patterns keep coming around...
To awaken reality...
Into recognizing our shadows...
And dancing them into free...
Starlight Dancing...with mum's the word...thnx for letting me use this beautiful picture with my poem...

Once I was concerned about being wholly self-reliant,
Rejecting everything outside of myself as inauthentic,
But then I asked,
Where is the final boundary between me and not-me,
between mine and not mine?
And I could not find it.
Knowledge does not live “in here” as opposed to out there,
Or “out there” as opposed to in here,
But dances elusively, delightfully, in between.
