Liberated
By: Noah Eaton
6/24/09

Have you ever had this feeling,
where you're cursed with eternal thirst,
whilst you're standing,
chin-deep in the lukewarm water,
and your heart is bleeding in your hands,
begging for some sweet release...

...then you feel as though the world,
is conspiring against the virtue of sharing,
where even your body is commodified,
your fear overruns your sense of caring,
leaving you trapped in this illusionary oubilette,
of deception and scarcity...

...well, my friend,
I've been in this situation,
bereft of touch,
starving from alienation,
but now I've opened my heart to the world,
allowing it to be touched...

...and I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
constantly seeking some wild abandon,
letting my love light amplify...

...I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
I'm not afraid to engage anymore,
I want my heart to beat as loudly as life...
.
.
.
...what fun is it having one hand in your pocket,
and the other tied behind your back?
it's been said your body's the harp of your soul,
it's too precious an instrument to retract.

...I find it's easy to say,
this is a belief I've partaken,
but under my skin,
I feel like I've awakened,
as though I've been viscerally reprogrammed,
I want to show you all I am inside...
.
.
.
...I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
constantly seeking some wild abandon,
letting my love light amplify...

...I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
I'm not afraid to engage anymore,
I want my heart to beat as loudly as life...

...let go of your insecurities,
reach into your soul,
carry your heart out of obscurity,
look into it,
say you're deserving,
and deep down you will find,
all it needs is a little nurturing...

...I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
constantly seeking some wild abandon,
letting my love light amplify...

...I'm liberated,
I'm liberated,
I'm not afraid to engage anymore,
I want my heart to beat as loudly as life...

...I'm liberated...

Dear Noah, it's so good to find you in here and with such an uplifting, captivating piece of poetry!

Only by knowing the darkness you can deeply appreciate the light and you have gained a new awareness now, that's wonderful!


Love and hugs.

God bless you, Sweet Noah! What a treat to be reading your words again. You share your beautiful spirit with everything you write.

It pains me to know that you have walked through the Valley of Shadows ~ But baby, look at you now! You have re-awakened, are liberated, and flying high once again with the wind beneath your wings! As they say, "Ya can't keep a good "angel" down!" ~ or is that a "man"? lol

Noah, my friend, keep that beautiful heart of yours open to the world ~ because the world loves you!

Touching your heart with love,

Linda
