Do not rush spring
Because winter
Was too long.
Enjoy the awakening
And the return of
Each flowers sweet scent.
The delicate unfolding of each petal.
Each opening of
Every new growth on the branch
Of the pussy willow
And push of the tenacious root through soil.
Feel the awakening of the moment
As they too welcome and embrace you.
This sanity.
This insanity.
This pushing
And pulling is tearing me
In
Two.
I do not know which half to pursue.
I do not know
Which half to
Save.
So here I lie still as can be and hope
Neither can find me
Tonight.
I climb
And breathe deep.
The smell of lilacs strong;
The
Hint of
Rain to come
Bathes me.
Morning splendor.
I close my eyes
And accept
Healing.
I got colored by the sun and the earth today.
I lost my breath
As I rose to the summit.
I got high on the
Altitude.
Dizzy in my head,
I let gratitude overflow my heart
And I accepted
The healing.
I got dusty and dirty.
I danced with myself
Untamed.
The view from the summit is always worth
It.
I accept the healing.
I sleep under the open sky.
I beckon
The night mountain air come take
Me away.
I wish to drift through the trees
The pines and the rocks;
Dance over cliffs and through valleys
By the light of the moon.
Invisible and silent.
I will caress the wings of the owl as she hunts;
I am the cool air the wolf inhales deep,
That which brings the longing and power
To her howl.
I beg the wind
Come drench my soul
And take me home.
Tomorrow will
Be here
When it so chooses,
Let’s not rush love.
Steady your hands.
Keep my lips company with yours.
Linger
A little longer.
The noise of traffic drowns out the sound
Of birds singing at my windowsill.
The silent strength of the trees remains rooted
Nonetheless.
Is it so unbelievable
I forsake the stars
To
Gaze upon you only?
Sometimes you
Bare your soul
And there is silence.
You do not know whether they think you are an
Idiot
Or they just do not know what to say.
So you wrap yourself back up knowing
That you are brave and beautiful regardless.
Let them be them and you be you.
There is no right or wrong in the realm of
feelings.
