Boundary & Boundaryless

Boundary, hold the line. Boundaryless..., let it shine. I need the wind to touch the sky, I need the wings to learn to fly.

I drew a line in the shifting paradigm,

To keep the order from chaos. 

A big platform built for presenting, 

A quiet place to call my inner voice.

I learned the word, I learned the shape

To keep the heavy thoughts at bay

But in the dark, behind the wall

I hear the ocean tides start to call up.

Oh, the boundary keeps me safe and sound

But the boundaryless is where I’m found

A window I open, a gate I leave ajar

A distant shore, a guiding star

I need the line to know my value inside.

I need the reminder to make sure I am all right.

Between the boundary and boundaryless

Is where I find my true insight.

I gave away the pieces of my advice,

To fill the gaps, to make them count.

I stand on edges, 

across the bridge.

A gap that I try to mend.

I swim at the open knowledge sea,

without getting lost in the lack of gravity

Now I am building back the shore

So I can embrace the differences.

It’s the tension in the wire

It’s the shadow minds.

We need to have the light to -

breakdown the dark

We shall have the courage to -

step into uncharted water. 

So I’ll stand here on the edge tonight

Between the wrong and what is right

Not too close, and not too far,

Exactly where we are.

Boundary, hold the line,

Boundaryless..., let it shine,

I need the wind to touch the sky

I need the wings to learn to fly.

Boundary and boundaryless...
