Uncovering
The attitudes.
Uncovering the attitudes,
There’s nothing left to hide,
Overt and obvious,
Taking it in my stride.
I can’t be someone different,
I am, what I am,
Striped with sensitivity,
Yet far from a lamb.
There’s nothing left to prove,
The time has gone for that,
Staying in the groove,
Being where I’m at.
Covered by a camouflage,
Then there beneath the skin,
Is the person I am,
And places where I’ve been.
Life is all around me,
I breathe it in the air,
Being with the one I love,
For you, I care.
We slipped past the beginning,
Into the inner realms,
Love glows from a lamppost,
And almost overwhelms.
Sorting out the pieces,
Details and diagram,
Unravelling the mystery,
Knowing who I am.
I watch the lovelight shining,
The stars the moon and the sun,
And know what I’ve been yearning for,
Love is the only one.
