Renewed

Standard

And now I lie naked.
Naked in the earth.
Everything I have carried
In me,
Stripped from
My heart
And
Removed from my soul.
Washed clean.

And I feel the wind.
I breathe the air.
I taste the dirt on my lips.
I am settled in my skin.

Renewed.

The time has come to

Arise and set my feet gently on the path before me.

Let this new journey

Begin.

Gypsy

Standard

Gypsy heart.

Soul afire.

She reaches the stars

But longs to go higher.

There is lightening in her touch

And

Thunder in her eyes.

If you choose to stay down here,

You can simply watch her.

She is not hard to identify

Dancing up there in the sky.

Just know that

You will be left waiting.

She will forget who you were if you

Do not

Join her in the company of the stars.

Rising Sun

Standard

She stood in the doorway
With her back to the sun
Knowing this was
The last
Time
She would see him.
And her heart filled with
Sorrow
Though her soul
Was at peace.

And her eyes filled with tears.

They fell to the floor
As she stood in the door
With her back to the sun.

She had nothing left

To prove.

Nothing left to hold.

Only the truth she would carry as
She turned and walked away.

Looking forward
For the first time
She could remember
To the light of a new day.

Never again would she turn her back to the sun.
