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

beyond what is
a path for what could be

the power of why
fear to action

a force of change
an act of faith

distilling your truth
a phoenix in waiting

grab the reins
take flight

a hundred miles over valleys and peaks, a single step over a mountain creek... take me there

cream tea and a summer breeze, a little boy becomes a gentle young man... take me there

stillness whispers the grace you’ve always known, can you feel it... take me there

smiles of calmness in the mind, treasures of forever in the heart... take me there

streaking at the speed of light while motionless all the same, sometimes just one hug can make all the difference... take me there

friendships come and friendships go some friendships light the way on moonlit trails to a brighter day... take me there

a lifetime of sunsets shine in your eyes, see my reflection... I know I am there

a falling wall deep and thunderous, oh what mountains you have moved

standing at the base of your beauty your presence flows through me, unknowingly it always has

sometimes I duck underneath, a safe place of awe that reaches the stars

peering through the effervescent curtain of falling light, I see the world I know... sometimes
absent this certainty I found

such clarity in your descent, such purpose in your unknown destination replenishing my well along the way.

I was forged from your love only to lose you before your time, with broken compass the tears fell like rain

please don’t mistake these tears for pain, cause today they are not falling in vain... sometimes love just needs a little rain

laying down my sword in the pouring rain, the stillness of grace... whispered her warm embrace

please don’t mistake these tears for pain, cause today they are not falling in vain... sometimes grace just needs a little rain.

— The End —
