Another one for Eric
My love for you extends beyond all rules
I long to nourish all you’re meant to be
Why did I want to use those rigid tools
that felt instinctively unjust when used on me?
The structured reasons you should want to do things
the consequences if you disobey
and how they serve to make you feel belittled
and want to throw my edicts far away –
How could they teach what I’ve hoped you’d discover –
the joy of moving from the spark inside
to never set your goals to please another
to find your balanced, elemental stride
to find the peace – and I think none is greater –
of living the fiat of your creator.
