It's time
I must let go
hear each blind beat that steps
into a dance to set you free
from the grip of your night
but now I can't
not now
Just go
Take every step
bravely, until you're free
from all the lies we told those nights
for you know that I can't
understand now
it's time
First steps
never feel free
they feel like a chilled night
We held on too long and I can't
keep on pretending now
You breathe each time
I go
Feel free
Your gift tonight
To wear a smile I can't
Seem to inspire Release it now
Before all of our time
Is in vain. Go.
Your step
Tonight
Don't say you can't
Promises are gone now
We can both think back on a time
When we laughed long ago
It's the best step
Be free
I can't
Hold you back now
I send you just in time
Breathe deeply and let your wings go
The sky waits with this step
To make you free
tonight
Look now
Look back sometimes
Though it was best to go
I long to take back the last step
The one that set you free
Bring one last night
I can't.

Well done, and a very good read. ^_^
Gretchen, have you ever considered meridian massage? It can be foot or even hand massage, to relieve any aches involved with your treatment...
I have a really good friend at Duke U. Medical who researches and teaches all that, including healing touch, so it's East meets West, and not just flighty New Age.
