I took a moment
To swim
To the shore
Of the ocean,
This my life.
And i stood and pondered once again.
My bare feet in the warmth of the sand.
My breath taken away by the wind.
This beautiful ocean
blue, green and gray
Is me.
It Is deep and endless.
The reflection
Stuns me as the sun rises,
As does everything in between.
That which begs still to be explored.
I am ready
Come what may
To dive back in.
What unknown part of me shall i delve into Next?
Terrified to be overwhelmed
Some days there is nothing left
The fight of the agony
Has left me
Exhausted
Again i float
As numbness claims
Me
Extremities lifeless
To separate
Feelings
From matter
My mind shouts
Get up
Get up
You are alive and well
My mind shouts
You are nothing
You are no one
You are a minute speck
Heart-
Heavy and heated as if standing on the sun
The brightness blinding me to life
Eventually i embrace it and love i become
I always come through
I always come through
When you get tired of rumors
Echoing back to you
From the lips of those who know so little of you,
Let it be a reminder
To not be a whisperer of hearsay
Yourself.
Little feet
Pitter patter
Come to greet me
Joyous laughter
Love
She never knew the stars in your eyes were for
Her.
How could she not see?
But oh,
How they shine
So very bright.
If everyone feels they do not
Belong,
Pray tell,
Who is left to belong?
Dear heart
Do not believe
Others can keep you
From shining
For they do not hold your flame.
They hold only their own.
You are the
Master
Of your light,
Of self.
The fig tree in the backyard
is done giving fruit
for this season.
replenishing herself,
now she dreams.
i
reach
for my
sweater
in need of a little extra warmth.
no matter the temperature
i wish my feet to remain
bare upon the earth
so that i may stay connected
with changes unfolding.
Sometimes
I cry tears of joy
When i hear
People
Laughing.
They do not know the beauty
Of their own
Song.
She was neither structured city
Nor
Wide open
Country.
She was untamed wilderness.
