about packing things up
calling you up
saying "can i come to you?"
and then i shake my head to myself
because fear has always somehow
held me back
from taking chances
afraid of regret
afraid of failure
afraid of not being
good enough
i have settled you know
for some/thing/one less capable
because it gives me comfort
for now
and i hope not to regret
that
sometimes i feel hopeless
waiting for that moment
that will clarify my being
so i read of Tao
the way - simply being
like a bird flying there is no
certain path
no footsteps left to track
its flight
just a simple soaring amongst
the clouds
i envy that freedom
free floating and letting
the wind take me where ever
someday maybe we can float
into a state of nothingness
where there is just us
and freedom
