RETURN TO INNOCENCE
June 21,1998

I have come from the deep,
Where bewitched by a spell
I slept years of dull sleep,
Trapped in my private hell.

I now learn what it takes
Clearing debts of past lives.
I have seen what's at stake,
Felt the pain, like sharp knives.

AND NOW...

Not afraid to be weak.
If I want, I will cry.
I won't hide, I will speak!
And my spirit will fly.

I don't care what 'they' say,
I'll return to myself.
I can follow MY way,
Put my fears on the shelf.

I am ME, I am whole,
Have a smile on my face.
Open doors to my soul,
So love fills every space.

I am free, I can mend,
And I take every chance.
I CAN fight to the end,
And there IS innocence!
