Today I make my way back to you

Hoje eu retorno
Com dedos tremulos e mente receosa
O tempo roubado é pouco a pouco resgatado
A alma adormecida se espreguica e acorda
E as palavras escapam lentamente uma a uma
Se rimam ou fazem sentido
Eu não sei
Não me importa
Só o que é importante é a tentativa
A esperança de algo não completamente perdido
é saber trilhar a volta
E reiniciar o que não devia nunca ter sido interrompido
Eu estava perdida
Mas agora entendo que estar perdida
Faz parte do caminho

Change!

I live in the present
In the moment
I live on the walls of the temple I worship at
I live in the fabric of time
In the space where reality and dreamscape intertwine to birth a possible future
I live in the wake of yesterday and the shadow of tomorrow
In the here and now
I live

It

I have faith that it is here
It is somewhere, it is near
I will find it
Destiny
I have faith
Trust
So many lives to get here
But I am on the verge of change now
My eyes are open
My mind is awake

For the first time,
I have faith

I trust
I am near it

Naked

I want to be naked with you
Peel off the layers of my skin
Let my fears ooze from my bones
Let my demons dance free to the drums of your heart
Shout my secrets in your ear
Place my dreams in the palm of your hand
Because only you and you alone
Can fix all the wrong 

Beyond this place

Beyond this place
There is a time I called you 'my love'
A dream when I kissed your shoulder
And whispered in your ear
I want to know all of you
Every curve, every lock of hair, every freckle, every thought
But now standing at the edge of forever

Not even your name sounds familiar
And I know nothing at all

Afraid

I'm afraid of heights
I'm afraid of the dark and horror flicks
I'm afraid of global warming and genetically engineered produce
I'm afraid of flying through a thunderstorm, of earthquakes and hurricanes
I'm afraid of bats and tarantulas

I'm afraid of every sunrise and every sunset
And the lost days in between
But most of all
I'm afraid of turning my head and realizing you were never here.

You

I want to crawl and hide in a place deep, dark inside of you
I will give you light for shadow
Thought for silence
Call off the search for miracles
You are the miracle
You willed yourself into existence
A single cell, a body, a soul
You can will existence into you
A planet, a galaxy, a universe
You are made of everything that is and was
Alive in awareness
Pulsating with self-doubt, intelligence and this thing called love
A spec of life spinning around the sun
A one hundredth of a second tick tocking in time
So powerful in your uniqueness
So weak in your solitude

I crawl into your arms 
Looking for a home.
