Fixing the Shade-A Journey Through the Mind of Steve




Fixing the shade


Seeing clearly ever again 

Seeing clearly my friend

The wind

The breeze

I want to see water

I want to see trees

Seeking freedom from me 

Seeking freedom from you and me

The air

The horizon

I have to let go 

I have to be done

Seeing clearly ever again

Seeing clearly my friend


I’m listening

I’m hearing 

Whatever was

Was

Never again 

Whatever will

Will

Begin again 


The freedom of the bird

Wings never tire

Be light less heavy

Hunt peck pursue

If that’s what you choose

The freedom of the bird


Turn the page

Close the book 

The library is full

Sit with it 


I want to go swimming

With dirt debris 

Other creatures we’re all free

I want to go swimming

We’re all free

Being flushed away 

Abruptly 

We’re all free 

The gift of being 

     Flushed away

Away towards

Dirt debris

A new we

Other creatures we’re all free


The freedom of the 

Bird

This is me

The freedom of 

Me

The bird flies

Free


I want to go swimming

As a bird I can

I have that

Freedom

I can be free

I want to go 

Swimming 

A bird

Can swim 

Swimmingly, a bird can 

Do 

Swimmingly 


Hey Steve

Hope you are enjoying 

Camp. You can be free

Do so swimmingly. Be

A bird. Be Steve

Do swimmingly

Do free. 

Lovingly

Swimmingly 

Me 


Every bird has a tail 

And a tale

The story of 

The past

Feels the flight

Be light

Not heavy 

Just be

Swimmingly 

A bird

Can 

Be 


I have to 

Hunt peck 

Pursue

If I choose

I have to 

Eat I have 

To be

I don’t have to 

I choose to

Swimmingly 


Did I hear 

The calls of 

The other

Birds

I can now 

I’m hearing clearly 

I can be a bird

Swimmingly 


Listen 

Hear

Process

Release

Listen

Hear

Process

Release

Listen 

Swimmingly 


My hand was a turkey 

I have always 

Been a bird

I can be free

I have always 

Been a bird

I can be free

Swimmingly

I let go of the stories

That used to be 

I can be free

Swimmingly 


There are no birds

There are no birds

Look up that's

Where the birds

Exist

Where the birds fly 

Where the birds are 

The birds be

The birds and the be

A bird without the be

Be a bird

A bird

A bird will

Be

Swimmingly 

A bird


The problem with the lake 

The lake is not the 

Problem 

You are the solution 

Be the solution 

Don’t change the lake 

Accept the lake 


Be the solution 

I am the solution 

I am the problem 

Be the solution 

I am the solution 


I fixed the shade
