“Break Me Open” by Cindy Georgakas

Morning dawn breaks, feet planted ready to begin anew.

Crack me open to the yellow wonder of the sun to shine my light

where darkness resides.

Empty judgements of a suffering world where storms churn chaotic clashing

symphonies of morbidity and entrapment.

Rejoice that you woke up today at choice of where you put your

time and attention.

Be the bird that flaps its wings and sings its sweet song, radiating sounds of

peace and calm.

Walk where no man’s traveled,

where baron treasured gifts are found.

The path to discovery is under our feet of uncharted territory,

not in lines of sheep.

Drop me on a desert island where I might find my own fins and gills

and make marks in the sand that fade and may never be seen,

where my soul remains imprinted with nourishment for our earth

and those to come and the invisible thread that connects us all.
