A Song to My Self

Dear Self, 

"I am what I am." is the only song of every creation - big or small, in the Universe. 

Why should you look out to see what is not there, when you can look within and see everything in you? 

Be yourself. Go within. Lock yourself up in your thoughts, in yourself. Shut out the world. Wear ear muffs to muffle the din. Listen to the song again and again, until it infuses every cell and vein in your fragile body.

.... So that when you come out, you emerge not to crawl along watchfully over the greens and browns, but to soar and catch the wind and the stars....splattering the sky with a riot of colours, as you find ways to express all of yourself, that you had locked up....and then, when you are done, you can drop down, to silently rest in your earthy home, until it is your turn again.
