(?) - free at last

free at last (by deav)
Lefkada - Gr, June 2005
(?)

long road
known, yet unknown
yet to be walked
yet walked before

wind on
the heights pound on my ear drums
up and down
sometimes we slide
sometimes we run

at every step of the ancient paths
i shed skin
i shed skin
at every bend of the winding road
i shed flesh
i shed bone
until my soul is free at last
until my soul is free

my eyes
flooded with the blue sea
for a little while
they look like yours

i bathe in opal
like flying
i remember you
stranded at distant shores

at every suck of the burning smoke
i shed ash
i shed ash
at every beat of a heart of stone
i shed fears
i shed tears
until my soul is free at last
until my soul is free
