I found the stream of gold that burns

The reservoir breaks open

Revealing a stream of gold that burns

I surrendered to the collapse

I surrendered to the safety net that I found myself clinging to afraid to see what lives under the depths of the ocean

I thought that I was stepping into the spotlight

With every aspect of my soul

Glowing like thousands of lightning bugs in the night

But I let the ego pull me along

Limiting myself to the space

Where the chains could reach

Not knowing about the flickering flame

Carrying the desire of liberation

It's supposed to be messy,

Because it's deeply rooted inside me

Like a plant that never budges

Even when a drought comes

I thought being in the fog was safe

But I couldn't see the burning flame

That quietly whispered to me

Your darkness is the medicine
