Poem


Searching outside of myself
Far and wide
Looking into the eyes and souls of others
Seeking answers 
Looking for my missing part
Always sensing an absence

Awakening one day with tears in my eyes
A complete realization
I had found my missing piece
Or rather 
My missing piece had found me

Silent warm tears streamed down my cheeks
An inner heat grew in my belly
My heart expanding
Opening ...and opening 
To me 
To the inner beauty and light within
A deep inhale and a soul embrace like no other
A new beginning

My whole being knew that no one 
Could take this completeness away from me 
I phoned my daughter
“Baby, I found my missing piece”
She received me and listened
I know it sounds odd, but I had to tell you

She hugged me through the phone 
Knowing that I did not want to leave 
The here and now...not yet

Fully alive, my inner beacon started beeping
I traveled through space and dove deep 
Into the bluest blues of ocean’s depths
The creatures of land and air surrounding me

Sunlight glinted off the eye of my companion
A majestic white hawk
Her gaze spoke of lifetimes past and present
She vibrated with ancient wisdom

I flew with her caressing her moist white feathers with my cheek
As she glided with me to realms unknown 
Setting me down on dusty red earth
Saturated with the soul wounds of Elders
Which filled the air with their songs
I heard wailing, guttural notes and heartache
Dispersing words
Whispering colors into the thin air

Opening my eyes 
I grasped tightly onto spiky bristles
Gripping as hard as I could with my arms and legs 
I rode
Thunder and sweat
Hooves and horns and commotion
Dusty circles of light danced around me

The Migration was in full force
Clinging with all my might, I journeyed 
Capturing roughhewn nuances of all that moved
She reared and plunged forward
My chariot, the mighty Wildebeest

Immersed in an immense wave of life 
Crossing the parched dry plains 
Seeking survival, quenching rain and sustenance
A blur...
Life at full force 
With all its primal energy
Unlike anything I had ever experienced

My heart exploded with joy
Knowing I would not ever trade 
This life of mine
This ability to weave threads of compassion and light with others
For anything

For we are all naked ~ alone ~ and beautiful
Here to share our hearts and souls 
With our earthly and galactic tribes
Giving each other an arena 
To be heard, loved, honored and appreciated

In gratitude to be a part of this 
Pulsating flow of life
I bow to you
