Friday Poem: She Is

clip_image002

She Is

She is the sky.
She could be a bird,
She could soar so high.

She is the sun.
She could be the moon.
She could be the stars.

She is freedom.
She has no limits,
A shape without form.

I could ask her name,
But she speaks softly.
A sound I can hear
Only as silence.

I look where she looks
Among the rocks and pools.
But I do not see
What she shows to me.

She wants me to walk
Beside her, but I trip
I stumble, unsettled,
Unsure in her wake.

Transfixed by her slow
Graceful easefulness,
I watch her walking,
But miss where she steps.

She sings a soft song
Of belonging, out
To the sky and sea,

As I mumble to the pages
Of a tattered notebook.
