Are you the wind that whispers in my ear or a stream beneath my feet with its bubbling tones
Are you a bird, a tree, a flower that I encounter or are you silence amidst the night air
I feel you in all corners of existence
Be it noise or quiet, dark or light
You are in all the tapestry of life that I perceive daily
You are moments of my holding breath and standing still when my heart wants to fly away to all the places that you are
You are my life’s anchor like the oldest wisdom there is that tells me to stay, to act, to dream and be
You are my life as much as anything I know that I am. Made up parts of one whole, a million of others merged together yet I can pick you apart from any other
You feel most of all like home, a soft fleshy part of my soul a colour of the purest blue and green and purple
I take you in with each breath as if the sweetest taste I have ever experienced
I am grateful to you for touching the earth and imprinting my heart with you and only you that for the rest of my days I will always know what it feels like to love, to grieve, to grow and surrender…
