Did we know then as we moved through the darkness
searching for the light with each day that passed,
our vines reaching
twining in and amongst the hardness of the world,
never allowing anything to put up a wall
to our destiny
that we would be in this here and now?
How we began so small,
tender stems reaching for the sun
as if it meant death to relax a spell
that we would be torn apart and trampled upon
ground into the earth
to begin once more
before seeds could be planted ensuring
all of the tomorrows that would be.
Emotion and thought become leaves
that begat flowers of quiet grace
that decorate the landscapes of our human minds
and somewhere within
there lies this amazing power that gives growth its chance,
we rise and rise a bit more
curving round through each instance
creating a secret garden of the soul
tended and cultivated to become
the entrance to forever.
We wind and move
push and pull our ways out of the despair
to find that bit of sunlight that waits patiently
and around us, the angels watch from afar
guiding us to the destination
we grow strong and live in joy for our moment
and with the coming of the moon,
curl around to sleep until the light rises again
and we can dance on the whispering wind,
delicate and silent in our garden
we will dream of eternity
as beautiful as the stars that sing lullabies
to our vain petal ears.
We will move in and amongst
these walls we create,
although some will reach outward and away
with leaves reaching towards the sky,
wayward vines catching all that move by
they too hold their purpose
to go higher and farther than imagined
and leaving behind those that can only dream
clinging to their arbors
afraid to make that leap,
and in doing so, wind and twist and wonder
never able to realize how high is the sky?
I feel like I’m right there with you. Much love.
