Let Nothing Enslave You


Let nothing enslave you.

Nothing but your dreams and passions.

Like a string on a kite, letting the air push against it,

letting it fly but not letting it fly away.

 

Let nothing bind you

Nothing but your inspiration and aspirations

Like a far away destination

Constantly calling to you as you crawl towards its soft shores

 

Let nothing confine you

Nothing but your infinite imagination

Like a new plane of existence

There to be built into a world worth living in.

 

You are not meant to be oppressed

Your beauty one that makes goddesses jealous

Your heart and your soul intertwined in an unending dance through the universe as you approach the realization of your existence.

 

You love.

You are loved.

You are love.

 

Every cell in your body expels a piece of you into the cosmos so that you may continue to live as the lasting remains of a star.

A star that did not have your life in mind when it gave up its own.

A star that lived for millennia seeing the rise and fall of many

A star that relinquished all of its energy to us and to all that we know.

 

Let nothing enslave you.

Let nothing bind you.

Let nothing confine you.

Be everything you are, for we all come from what makes the stars.
