Shawn Potter Poem
From the rim of the Stanislaus,
On the shoulders of trees.
To the valley of the sacred,
Is where I seek clarity.
Warmth of sun on my face,
Sweet smells fill the lungs.
Revel in your own joy,
For this moment you have come.
Amongst the fellowship of giants,
Their stories told through the breeze.
I bask in their glory,
The body finds its ease.
Take pause at the falls,
And the water they bleed.
For they ask not what they want,
They take only what they need.
Lose yourself in the river,
In its flow and all it breathes.
Find peace within,
And your souls reckoning.
Immerse yourself in its womb,
Here it’s song as it sings.
Embrace the power of its truth,
Absorb its energy.
Surrender your senses,
To these moments you make.
Life lost when asleep,
Purpose found in awake.
Shed tears for your past,
For your presence has arrived.
Permission has been granted,
Welcome, to Alive.

Shawn Potter Poem
If I could breathe you away
like a feather in the wind.
Would that signal the end
Or a new chapter to begin?
Would that bring an end to the pain
the endless tears I’ve shed
Or would it signal a fresh start
And a new life to be had?
Could that bring new meaning
new direction, new life
Would that cement that you’re gone
And no longer my wife?
Or would it mean that there’s hope
For a brighter, better us
Now that I’ve learned to feel
in this process I trust
What we’ve missed all these years
all our hurt deep inside
Stepping toward you now
I can no longer hide
When the person I’ve lost
has really been me
So much learned, so much gained
finally set my soul free
If I can breathe you away
I don’t know what I’d do
Cause this world isn’t the same
Not without you.
