So, you were finally at home,
With your family once again.
After all the roads your heart had taken,
Through thick and thin,
Through the illusions of life,
And all the choices it had laid before you.
You chose tranquility, despite the loneliness that came with it.
You chose to be yourself.
Finally at home, you learned to find joy
In the little that was on the table,
Rather than having more on the table
While living a life filled with despondency.
Dare to dream.
Discover the world.
And in your discovering,
You will find yourself.
On my own
my thoughts guide me
discover confidence unknown
unfold me
one petal
at a time
sweet nectar
inside untainted
no one could control
all of me
freedom and curiosity
all blooming
sweet and earthy
scents sing to me
in granite shards along river banks
moose bathing in alpine lakes
soaring peaks
ever dancing
aspen leaves
birds speaking
sweet stories
rainbow of flowers wild
I dream to be
in the company of wild beings
I discover
my wildness
