Inner Pattern - Beloved

Awaken the inner pattern

A murmur of self

A heart between beats

Tearing out the pages left and right

Of the human letter

In a burning moment

Threaded with compassion

Bound and held tight

In form and fashion

Bleeding restoration

Into a heart that’s grave

Breathing in life into our lungs

Into our throats like open graves

Our eyes aren’t closed

Our eyes are asleep

You have dreamt long enough

With open eyes

There is no escape for those

Who betray their inner self

Are we absent in thoughts of escape?

While our minds sleep

In days we saved

You’ve cut all ties

And broken all your bonds

To your inner self

Now you will lie

An unhappy life away

Let the fire in your eyes

Burn it clean inside

Let the blood revise the ink

In your veins

This world won’t define our hope

We’ll sit through the ashes

Until we find what’s true in our hearts

And write it there

For this is what strikes fear in the heart of man

These are the days that we’ve made

And the chances that we’ll take

We can’t carry this vessel to shore

Without an anchor of hope
