on this day then
shall I make the declaration
to let fear fall before the sun
to set aside old clothes
and remember who I really am?
who and what I am to become?
to reclaim
the throne of my own heart
& the kingdom of my mind
to remember
the sun, setting before sweet Cambria
upon the majestic cliffs of Zion
and rising again over New Mexico
the Zia in electric blue
can we do it?
let’s do it then.
Let’s act.
and listen
open our hearts and minds
and then make the decision
let’s paint in brights shades
of blue, yellow and red
in broad brushstrokes, yea
on a pearl white canvas
without thinking twice
breathe big
smile
and play jazz music
Mozart
and the blues
you’ve got the heart of a lion
