There are yearnings deep inside me
that remain as yet unfilled
and in order to stretch forward
I must move, and yet stay still.
Move to where my heart pulls strong
yet contemplate my now.
I wonder where I’m going…
I wonder, wonder, how
to embrace a new belonging
when I feel such empty space
all around and inside me.
I simply want a taste
of passions from so long ago
a sense of life within me
a reason to look forward
remember how to see…
horses, writing, song and dance
water, mountains, write,
art, expression, love and life
I want to feel the light
of humor, laughter, family
to fit inside my puzzle.
No more lonely nights myself
with only cats to nuzzle.
The answers are before me
I just can’t seem to get there.
Desires lying dormant
awaiting breath of air.
Air that wants to suffocate
and air that brings to life
dreams that lie beneath the dust…
a life simply not suffice
but exceeds my expectations
and sets my heart a-thrill
with purpose, planning, sights set high:
remember the hopeful girl
with dreams made from a simple dust
and then made into art:
A life worth telling and worth sharing
and lived completely from the heart.
