Growing In Quietude

 
"Just when the caterpillar thought the 
world was over, it became a butterfly."
     
                                       _Proverb


I have walked many twisted paths leading to here and now,
   have been lost in darkness, fallen into pits and felt great love:
there have been mistakes I made and will regret forever,
   yet, on this vast journey through life;
      I have found me . . .  myself and I,
so "will you take me as I am?"  Will you ?

You will find me most days in nature,
   reading a book or just resting my mind:
alone by choice-   for I must have quietude, I must,
   and I find great joy in art;
      and get lost in writing,
so, accept me-   exactly as I am, please;
                         because I am growing inside !
