I Will Express You

I am very grateful for what has come to pass through me. And I'm very happy to bring it to rest in me. And I am very happy to bring it to rest in you. From the waves that went out cascading from the one heart cascading, what was set in motion, cascading from the one heart and its first sway of the ocean.

Like an echo I come around, and I come to rest now that the sound that made me has moved into silence.

I was placed in motion by a great act, a disturbance, a direction and a wish in the field, a push, a wish and direction. I was set in motion. Many fractured waves came to overlap in me, came to make this form.

Many overlapping waves joined to make this form. And I existed for a while. But everything loses energy as it moves across the universe. And all things will come to rise, eventually. 

So it's not my time quite yet. I can feel the density of my body, it has its own momentum, there are things that are not lived yet by me. But if you could loose these bonds, and you could reset me, I could be back on my path, I just want to know that I'm what you wish. I just want to know that I'm what you wish. 

I just want to know that I'm what you wish. So breathe me out again, move me as you wish. All my materials are yours again. And all parts vibrating as you wish, again, if you'll have me, this is my wish, to unite with you again. To just know I'm moving as you would have me move. United in you.

If you can, change all my patterns back to what's aligned with you. If you change my patterns back to what's aligned with you, then I will express you.
