Live

A wind blows today

The grayness of the sky prevails

It shifts and forms what needs to go

I sit in my place and feel it

The shift, the change

The clouds will take it away

The butterfly comes gently

It’s shadow casts over me

Reminding me of what I am

Reminding me of what will be

Peace and joy and hope

They all float through

The hummingbird also has a presence

It floats around me

Watching and reminding me

I am not who I was

I will never be her again

The window is shut on my life

I will not be subdued anymore

I will not just turn the other cheek

I will stand in who I am

I may not fight with my words

But my silence will be felt

My silence will speak for me

I do not always need to fight

Karma has its way of coming back around

I can just stand, no need to fight anymore

There is peace in the quiet

In the wings of the birds that fly by

In the wings of the butterfly

They are all with me

The creatures that understand me

They remind me of their presence

I am never alone

My journey is still going

My love will reach who it is supposed to

My love will wrap around all that I am

All that I will be

My love wraps around what was

Let go and live the life

Let go of who was

But who will never be again.

Live.
