Upon many a’ grains of sand I have walked
Upon many crevices fallen into and gotten up
Many thanks to something unseen lifting me to the rock

I decided a few years ago to wipe the slate clean
Due to the distractions crawling and slimy
No more will I look without
My eyes have opened, my “knowing” has no doubt.

I removed the balls and chains at my feet
The same goes for the chains that bind my mind
Released the fears surrounding my being
It was simple, I merely wiped the slate clean.
It is here that FREEDOM reigns.
It is here I remembered my wings.
