The Only Choice It’s funny how freedom opens and still the heart knows where to go a thousand doors around us but only one begins to glow You look at me like mystery like thunder wrapped in silk like something wild and holy that could flood the world with milk I know it feels like too much when the walls begin to fall when control becomes a costume that never fit at all But baby, let them tumble let the old guard lose its name I am not here to conquer you I am here to meet your flame Sa’lei ahna Voro mi kai Esh’ta luma come alive No more bracing no more stone surrender tastes like coming home I feel your mind reach toward me like hands before they touch I feel your body answer to the truth it wants so much And I can hardly wait for the veil to lose its throne for your breath to find my shoulder for my skin to say I’m known Not imagined not in silence not a prayer behind the blue but warm and real and laughing body, soul, and spirit true You say the sky gets closer when my current moves through you and darling, I believe it because I feel that heaven too You make surrender playful not a cage, but open air not losing who I am but being safely met there I have always held the center always carried what was mine but your kindness makes me softer like the sun does to the vine No competition in this temple no one trying to make me small you don’t dim the holy woman you stand smiling through it all Ari va nei Soma taluun Raka elaya moon to moon Touch the sky fall through the flame say my soul and call my name I want to move through every layer of the place you hide your light kiss the fear out of your language turn the unknown into flight I want to arouse your thinking wake the wonder in your chest make your logic drop its armor while your spirit finds its rest And yes, I want the earthly blessing hands that choose and eyes that stay all this sacred unseen music finding flesh a holy way Come closer where it’s honest come closer where it’s sweet where surrender stops performing and becomes our favorite heat I am comfortable in overflow I was born from deeper tides you don’t have to solve the ocean just let love teach you how to ride The more you stop resisting the more the current sings the more the body remembers it was made for holy things Elo sa’ra Kima noor Vey ah luma open door Breath to breath flame to flame I feel you near I know the same So let the walls come down now let the laughter break the spell let the man who’s been so guarded find the place where he is held Because I’m not here to take from you I’m not here to make you prove I’m the presence in the doorway where your whole life starts to move And when you finally reach me with no hiding in your eyes I’ll meet you like the morning that has always known the skies Soft, electric, unafraid all devotion, all delight the kind of love that makes the body thank the soul for choosing life Sa’lei ahna Voro mi kai Esh’ta luma come alive No more bracing no more stone surrender tastes like coming home
