Have I ever loved someone, in their true creation; flaws and all
Have I ever understood the word unconditioned; practice and preach
Have I ever known someday the world will bring me to my knees; humbling
The lesson of compassion, of love, of acceptance, and forgiveness
My heart has been broken just to be restored much stronger
My soul is awake and fully in pain, good pain
Consequences, heartache, and responsibilities
Your love, your flaws, my love, my flaws; taught us the lesson
The lesson of unconditional love
With my eyes and arms wide open
I see you, all of you, not just an illusion of you
And you teach me to see me, not just an illusion of myself
The veil of illusion is lifting and I see clearly for the first time
The lesson of love, of true heart, of compassion
Not only for others, but also for myself

Elizabeth
She flies away so far into the sky, so high
so bright the sun
My eyes can’t see, blurred with tears
She flies away quietly into the night
her wings landed softly
settled into her dreams
where her heart resides
and it is no longer
by my side
