A Heartsong of Life
As veils are falling
another will lift,
shades and shadows
do shimmer to shift
Leaves of time
start their drift on by,
petals of life
float to sigh
The tree of days
seeps in mysteries past,
its branches swing
in a swoop so vast
An ash of self
is detached and free,
moves in concert
with a spirit of glee
I am floating the wind
my mind stands at ease,
having found a testament
in glimmers of peace
Winding through valleys
and skipping across waves,
to skiing a mountain
and diving in caves
Touching the fabric
that covered a life,
finding the bumps
that brought trouble and strife
The lives I watched fade
into faraway nights,
waiting for a reunion
as days end in sight
In the smooth of the cut
I am exquisitely reminded,
of the love we have shared
and lives wandering blinded
The haze of pride
cleared eons ago,
a humble mind
began to grow
Re-birthed in wonders
of misty foresight,
a mind of shadows
has found faith in light
Now finding the courage
to absolve all sins,
being paid in full
a new page begins
