   BREAK AWAY


Break away, break away
from clouds of confusion
emanating from a stifling, stagnant
past;
yesterday's darkness
belongs to yesterday:
you belong to the future!

Yesterday’s clouds
held back the light
too bright,
when the sleeper slept unaware
in time’s cradle...

Break away, break away
from control systems
which no longer serve
that which you know to be
what your desires say!

Open yourself
to a new day;
let the morning sun shine on:
yawn, stretch and declare:
The sleeper has awakened!
the dancer dances!
