Myopia

When you know who you are
And you know what you like
And you know what you can live without

When you’ve stopped seeking answers
From outside yourself
You’ll have more than you need to survive

My myopia was afraid of healing
I was lost in an ocean of sad detail
With a screen of judgment in my face all the time
I was holding the kite too close to feel it setting sail

When you glow from the gaze
Of another’s revelation
And you share what you feel in return

When you’ve earned the embrace
Of only that which fuels your passion
You’ll have more than you need to discеrn

My myopia was afraid of healing
I was lost in an ocean of sad detail
With a screen of judgmеnt in my face all the time
I was holding the kite too close to feel it setting sail

I was lost and alone ‘til you came and rescued me
Tempest-tossed and afraid, but now I see

When you know who you are
And you know what you like
And you know what you can live without

When you’ve stopped seeking answers
From outside yourself
You’ll have more than you need
You’ll have more than you need

My myopia was afraid of healing
I was lost in an ocean of sad detail
With a screen of judgment in my face all the time
I was holding the kite too close to feel it

My myopia was afraid of revealing
Anything beyond present periphery
How your light is connected
To my love it’s intersected
Like a wave of the sweetest salvation’s dignity

My myopia… too close to feel it setting sail
