exhale
stillness
movement above
swirling patterns
chaotic
not mine
other's
me
the oyster
settled
buried
hidden
treasure inside
growing
slowly
beautiful
priceless
so many searching
fishing
fighting waves
wind
desperate
not to drown
I smile
exhale
eyes close
knowing
the treasure
is
me

In the dark...
silence
hand moving in front of my face
unseen
serene
silence
so this is what it's like
here
in the dark
waiting for me
always here
waiting
for me
to see
nothing
that
from which I have run
that
which holds so much
that
which sees no sun
that
which is to teach
so much
so here i am
finally
at peace
in the dark
hand moving in front of my face
unseen
serene
silence
so this is what it's like
here
in the dark
waiting for me
always here
waiting
for me
to see
nothing
that
from which I have run
that
which holds so much
that
which sees no sun
that
which is to teach
so much
so here i am
finally
at peace
in the dark

Open Door...
so there it is, open
looking at it
through it
see only far enough
the first step
pausing to remember
a lifetime of steps
bringing me here
your face
many faces
one little face
smiling
radiant
body
feet
prepare
mind
races
heart
heavy
for many I step
for myself I pause
forever
I will be known
for this step
looking at it
through it
see only far enough
the first step
pausing to remember
a lifetime of steps
bringing me here
your face
many faces
one little face
smiling
radiant
body
feet
prepare
mind
races
heart
heavy
for many I step
for myself I pause
forever
I will be known
for this step

Where I find you...
And there you were, refreshed from your slumber in the back of my mind. Awakened by my heart reaching for your touch, your voice in my ear.
The trigger was the sight across the way to an apartment where a young woman hugged her stooped grandmother. Pure love, holding each other in an embrace that time would never fully erase. And there you were...
My mouth uttered the words that said how much my entire being yearned to just be in your presence one more time "I miss you so much". Wished to be accepted, to be pushed, to be unconditionally loved. To just be...
At such a turbulent time, when so many things have yet to be found, your reassurance that all will be well would be so precious. Yet your voice was heard "LIVE!" 58 years... such an injustice. Such a loss.
So sleep again, my dear Mother, and return again to me as you wish. Look with love and protection over your grand daughter. She pours out love with a touch that melts me, hugs that soothe me, and a dear little kiss that lets me know I have done one heavenly thing in this life.
Until I find you again...
