A Walk in Whittier

+++May 18, 2009+++

I AM UNLIKE YOU,

I AM LIKE NO OTHER,

I'VE YET TO MEET MY MIRROR HALF,

WITH QUITE THIS MUCH DEPTH,

I LYE UPON A ROCK BATHED IN SERENITY,

THE SKY DRAPES ITS LOVE AROUND MY SHOULDERS AND CARESSES MY BACK,

WHILE THE SUN POURS ITSELF DEEP BENEATH MY SKIN,

MY HEART PAUSES TO BREATHE IT ALL IN,

MY PALMS LYE FLAT AGAINST THE STONE,

ITS ENERGY SO COOL AND CALM,

SOOTHING THE THOUGHTS FLOWING THROUGH MY MIND,

THE WEEDS OF THE SEA,

SO FULL OF LIFE AND LOVE,

DANCING WITH THE TIDE IN PERFECT RHYTHM,

DRAWING ME INTO THEIR HYPNOTIC MOVEMENTS,

I'M NOT QUITE LIKE YOU,

ALL OF YOU I'VE MET,

I FIND MY JOY HIDDEN BENEATH ROCKS ON RAINY DAYS & IN THE SHADOWS OF THE THE FOREST WHEN THE SUN ILLUMINATES THE PATH,

I SEEK,

I FIND,

I FLOW WITH AN OCCASIONAL PAUSE TO REMEMBER WHERE I AM, WHERE I WAS AND WHERE I MAY GO,

CHOOSING TO ENJOY ALL AROUND ME,

THE BIRDS SING THEIR SONG WITH GRACE & BEAUTY,

FEATHERS GLIDING FLAWLESSLY THROUGH THE BREEZE,

I ALLOW MY EXPERIENCES TO GUIDE ME INTO LEARNING,

YOU ARE ALL TOOLS ON MY JOURNEY,

I AM ALONE IN THIS WORLD SURROUNDED BY YOUR LOVE,

MAY I CONTINUE TO EMBRACE YOU,

REMEMBERING WHERE I AM,

THANK YOU GREAT MOTHER FOR ALL THAT YOU GIVE,

I DANCE WITHIN YOUR HARMONY WITH GRATITUDE AND LOVE
