a new page. ~by me

How silly and blind have I been,
how unappreciative
throwing pennies in the wind,
when I was always standing in the wishing well.

Thinking things where dead and stagnant around me
I was looking from without
instead of at my own two feet,
where flowers bloom
quietly and patiently .

I was looking out into the oceans horizon
when there ,
at the hem of my dress ,
is where the sand and ocean meet .

It was all in front of my eyes ,
but i peered narrowly through my mind,
and changed what was truly there
through expecting filters and unappreciativeness,
the dark veil of assumed light and ungratefulness.

The plans I have for me have kept me blind
to what has been living and breathing ,
coming into focus and dying,
right in front of me!

My plans will come at the will of the Universe, I
have to do nothing but keep the dream in my heart
while living today,
carefree and genuinely.

Standing in awe of what i have done already,
the dream of years past come true,
moved across country on faith, desire
fueled by what was right and true!

There is love , unconditional,
created over a million life times
finally in bud.
The sweetest flower I've ever known ,
unfolds infinitely,
one petal at a time, for the rest of eternity,
How blessed am I!

There are real friendships , old and new,
that cross all boundaries
of time, age , space ,
labels and place .
All whom held the mirror , and my hand.

There are photos of a dead lake that in it's own
time reveled it's lotus flowers to me.
Photos of the swan ,
and now her new babies.
There are photos of my kids smiling faces,
in the mountains, in the gardens in the oceans
so many new places .

There is new art, new authors, new music,
new places in my heart never before explored.
New confidence in me banging out from my spirits door.

New smiles given and received,
new people who love me for exactly me.
There are a million flowers I see coming into bloom
real poems written , new ones from me, new ones from you,
new appreciations ,
a new found part of me :)


FREE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF :)
Peace, Love & Unity
