an idealist

i want to be an idealist
i want to believe we can all
have our dreams
we can all have our journeys
we can make them as ideal
as we dream them to be
without controlling
any other human being
what we share in our dreams
we can share
and live

and we can remember
the past was a dream of its own
and strive higher
and happier
and wish the same
for every living creature
that we may all evolve
into our most glorious self
into the self that is loving and giving
to ourselves and our deepest happiness
which only we can find for ourselves

and when we find it
we will never give up in finding
it possible
we will never give up in making
our audacious hopes
our audacious reality
we are not held back
by money or fear

we are not held back
by the expectations of other people
because our ultimate being
exists in the framework
that we can make anything happen

to this oneself is the dream
to make it, whatever it is, happen for you,
and if it involves others,
by the full consent of their heart and mind.

we can love who we love
we can live the lives we want to live
without fear
because fear is the only thing
that holds us back
and guilt
guilt is the past
guilt is the surrender
of one's own heart to another
and that can never lead
to true happiness


true love is the true surrender
to what two people naturally share
it cannot be shaped by any obligation
of power and submission

true happiness can only flourish
for us all
when our unfettered hearts
love truly

living truly means
living by our hearts
and being true about
how we must live
in our own greatest joy

we support the happiness of others
by holding strong to our own hearts

only then can we all live the dream
of living the dream of our lives
all together
only then can we be
who we were meant to be
when we adapt to the new possibilities
that are presented
to our souls

and when they fit
we open up into a
bigger and bigger soul
so we can set an example
for all the souls still growing

so when we merge the final time
our light is glorious and luminous
based on deep feeling
shared and lived

this is the life force
the force of our hearts, and minds
this is why the beauty of life
is that it's no chore
to take care of yourself
when you let your heart live.

when you let all hearts live.
