Things Are Changing Now
This
was a journey
of heart and soul and body.
A place of such beauty
and yet my mind longed for more......
I asked not to be moved from my home
but the father of my children did it all.
That’s how I got so far away.
I protested
but in the end, money won
and I hadn’t any.
So, I adapted
as women do
and bonded with trees and shells and water.
The speed of life was slower
yet I wasn’t.
It felt wrong, incongruous even.
I tolerated
as women do
and piled on warm things in the weather
shivered at my table.
Nothing smelled right here,
I longed for saltwater, sand and sunny days
I hoped
as women do
and cast prayers upon the waterways
stood upon my deck and asked of the moon
Please take me away
feed my mind, care for my body and soul
Let there be a way.....
A way has come and I’m going soon
to the land of sand and sunshine
to salten air and long walks
and surfer boys with boards again
I’m grateful for lessons learned, but boy am I ready. Let it be good this time.
