I'm feeling more real as I am.    
More real than I'v ever been.    
A continuum, spectrum like exists.    
Between the Ideal self & the real self.    
A spectrum that were all on.
    
The Ideal self, is the person.    
We think others want us to be.    
Conforming to this image.    
We collude with others to fit in.
What ever the cost.

The true self, not to others.    
Rather to our true selves.    
As nature meant us to be.    
     
Every time we collude with others.

1: Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
 
You think that water is the color blue
That ocean currents imitate the wind.
 
And where it ends beyond the height of clouds
That’s where the sky of me will turn to black,
 
Where neither air nor astronauts may live;
Yes, I’m the sky and all the rest is air.

 You are always all around me and nowhere as well and at once...
 We, together are everywhere, unable to be destroyed...
  This is how we...

In the first ray of light
Filtering through the trees
Drenching me in warmth  
 
Soft rain filling up my senses  
With sweetness and warm droplets landing on cheeks  
 
Wind swirling through my hair
With gentle fingers  
 
Beauty of deep blue skies
That penetrate as deeply  
The gaze from your once open eyes  
 
The mist that hangs densely  
blanket of cool
Over the scent of pines  
 
Soft clouds wrapping around the moon  
Sparkling stars dancing in a blanket
Of dark
