Bora born
The jewell of horn island _
Mum, let me rest in your mind
to show you my tongue's not blind
it won't do what it should do
connections have failed to fuse.
I think, I feel so I am
my hidden language in hand
stimulate me every day
so my mind won't melt away.
I bring gifts for you and dad
to embrace the one's you have
in patience for all to see
so your light may shine through me.
Know there is no right or wrong
in language beliefs are born
remember, we chose you two
to bring out the best in you.
Give me strength this is our time
let's forget this pantomine
light my fire, stimulate me
so my ears and tongue can see.
Language lost another gained
for this holographic brain
that needs to find other ways
to engage and have its' say.
Notice how I relate to
those that feel, that long haired crew
I sense their light and healing gifts
calmer space within their midst.
Water worlds of liquid sound
refresh me as peace is found
calls from ordered inner voice
water running over choice.
Do it now don't let me go
there is much I need to know
lift my veil and peep inside
to find the jewell I can't hide.
