why could I sense a stillness
beyond fear beyond tears
an awareness of wisdom beyond
thought, a realization that all I would
ever know was already known
only to be realized
maybe it was armour for all the battles
I’ve yet to fight
the fears I would have to face
the truths I would have to mine
the losses I would have to bare
the acceptance I would have to find
maybe the beauty I’ve yet to see
the love I’ve yet to feel
the paths I’ve yet to walk
the life I've yet to live
still in awe of that moment when I was five
