The sun has come
And once again
I greet the warmth
With a grateful heart.
Though the rains may cleanse
And the winds create change,
The sun always
Brings
Hope.
The sun has come
And once again
I greet the warmth
With a grateful heart.
Though the rains may cleanse
And the winds create change,
The sun always
Brings
Hope.
I hope wherever you are,
You are
Free
Now.
Free to be your beautiful self.
And when anyone tries to stifle you,
You don’t ever hold back.
I hope you see through them
And know now it’s not about you,
Their fear.
It never was.
You,
So beautiful.
Too free for some people to handle,
And too much yourself
That it terrified them to see how much they
Themselves
Hold back.
How they keep themselves in chains.
I imagine you dancing and singing at the top of your lungs
While the leaves fall at your feet,
Some wild autumn wind playing in your hair.
And I know
You
Are
Free.
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.
Cool
Green grass between my toes.
The smell of corn
And country air.
Lips kissed by the sun
Sweet wind teasing my hair.
Heaven knows
How blissful it is
To be home.
She cried tears
Believing she had been separated from
Mother Earth
Until,
Upon
Waking a memory long lost,
She recalled
The dust
The streams
The rocks
And the ocean,
The mountains
The clouds
The wind and the rain
All remain within her.
Here I sit.
I cannot sleep yet I am exhausted.
I want to laugh.
I want to cry.
I want to curl up in the closet.
I want to run beside the ocean.
I want to scream.
I want to sit atop a mountain and feel the wind in my hair.
Feel it stroke my face.
I want to dance and laugh and sing until I collapse.
I want to forget.
I want to stand tall, walk forward
And never look back.
I want my heart back in one piece.
I want to sleep and dream and I want to wake up feeling safe with a smile in my heart.
I want to trust.
I want to let go and love,
Hold nothing back.
I want to lean and rest my soul.
I want to breathe.
I want to break the surface.
I want to revive my heart.
I want to give a piece of me without regret.
I want to break the chains my heart and mind have bound me in.
I want to sigh.
I want to cut the anchor and soar.
I want to speak softly and be heard.
I want to lie in a field of flowers and watch the clouds drift by and listen to the wind caress the trees.
I want to believe in myself.
I want to be.
We loved before we were born.
It has been written in time.
In the wind.
In the earth.
The dirt itself.
We loved.
We Love.
