These are the
Forests i know.
And the devils club,
The fallen trees
They remind me to breathe;
Raindrops on the forget me not.
The song of the wind,
Lichen at me feet.
Mountain tops high. I am cradled safe
In the sloping valley.
Running river wild playing its melody free
As I welcome stillness.
Here I meet myself.
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.
Oh what adventures we have shared.
Together.
We have climbed mountains
And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory
As we arrived at the summit.
Together.
We have crawled through muddy,
Murky valleys
And rejoiced at the sight
Of the rising sun
As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.
Together.
We have laughed until we cried
And our bodies and bones have trembled
As sorrow has wracked us to the core.
Together.
We have stood in silence,
Watching the sun kiss the horizon
Goodnight,
All the while
Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive
In the wake of tomorrow.
Together.
And on each adventure,
Each detour,
Each long dry straightaway,
Every joyous celebration,
Every tiny step forward,
Each slip backwards,
Whether you have been through a portion
Or this whole amazing
Journey
With
Me
Thus far,
I thank you.
I am slowly
Learning to have compassion for the girl
That believed she had no voice.
The girl that was afraid to shine
Or make a sound.
Who had been beaten down.
Who had almost disappeared from
Existence.
She will always be a part of me.
She was not weak.
After all
She carried me on her own.
On every twist and turn.
Up
Mountains and through valleys
Alone,
She carried me.
She pulled me up off my knees.
She dug me out of the shadows
And pushed me
Into the light.
Lifted my gaze up to life.
Through sun and storms.
Through my entire life.
She carried me.
Now it’s my turn to
Carry her.
To love her and I realize what I thought
Were her weaknesses,
Led to my strengths.
