It's not a Sin

It's not a sin to love,

It's not a sin to open

A heart and hold it 

Beating in my palms

Especially if it's my own,

It's not a sin to sing

A song so ravishing 

And painful

It breaks the walls

Of separation,

It's not a sin to travel

To edges of the earth

And dance

In other's dreams

To beat the drums

Of consciousness

And wake another soul,

It's not a sin to yearn

For the fire of my home

A space so rich of sound

And color

We only lay our eyes upon

During our sacred journeys

Of the night,

It's not a sin to Be,

To be alone

To be in power

To command

To lead in battle

To sacrifice

To heal

It's not a sin to mourn

When leaving another heart

Until another time

Another space

While slowly waking

And getting ready 

For another day.
