Between You and Me (No Escape)

Between You and Me (No Escape)

You know you can’t escape,

Because in life there is no place,

Where the heart can truly be free,

Except between you and me.

With congress coming near,

My heart it shakes with fear,

What lies ahead, what will be fed,

By all the noise inside our head.

Garbage in and garbage out,

Endless thoughts that twist and shout,

But deep inside, beneath the mess,

A single point won’t acquiesce.

My point in the heart screams loud,

Not for comfort, not for proud,

It cries for truth, not fantasy,

It begs for real connection, we.

Not to fix, not to be right,

Not to win another fight,

But to bow before the Ten as one,

And let the work—not ego—run.

If fear comes dressed as holy talk,

Or doubts pretend they help us walk,

Let them rise, let them be seen,

Then place them between us, clean.

Because freedom isn’t found alone,

Not in silence, flesh, or bone,

It’s born where broken hearts agree

To build one space—for You—to be.
