I am moving to the fearless side of love,
a journey with more zigs zags dotdot dashes
than straight narrow lines,

against a backdrop of whirlwinds
birthing colors and sounds carried
by the vocals of Aretha Franklin and Lauren Hill.

I am moving to the fearless side of love
which takes me beyond the great walls
and shadows where ghosts linger.

I am moving to the fearless side of love
where I shall be….me.
