Memoirs
I have been a flower See me in the fresh picked rose
picked and held until it died dying in your hand
i have been a moon beam See me in the moonlight
shining in the night. Reflected on the sea
See how I shine... Shining silver shine
I have been the grains of sand Feel me in the sand
falling through the hands of time Falling counting time
I have been the dancer Sensuous dancing grains
caught up in the rhythm and rhyme. Through the glass of hours
See how I shine... Gritty smooth divine.
I have been an Earth bound soul Flutter of the butterfly
with guidance from within is me against the breeze
i have been a butterfly Souls who cannot leave the earth
gaining ground against the wind. wrap around my heart
See how I shine... All are me …and none…
I have stood and I have wept I am grief and I am tears
at grave sites of the lost at every grave you dig
I've been mild and I've been meek In passion’s throes
never imagining the cost. My arms are wide,
See how I shine... I keep no scores—you win
I have been a poetess Find me in a poem
built grand and glorious dreams Meet me in a dream
I have been against all odds Taking chances
and other chancy things. Thrills my soul
See how I shine... Shining from within
I am here and I am there Find me here, See me there
I am become as air Inhale me with your heart
look around and you may see Search the world
traces of me everywhere. A trace of me will follow you
See how I shine... Shining every step
