Me

She was kind

And more sensitive than most

Always feeling as if she was from a different time and place

A different realm

Pretending to fit in had gotten too tiring

So she began to become instead

As the armor fell away

Her tender heart was there for all to see

And her deep desire for peace on the planet

So she started to speak

And to share her stories

There is incredible strength in the tender-hearted ones

She loved people and creatures

Writing and the rhythms of nature

She took long walks in beautiful places

Noticing everything

Asking her questions to the wind, to the deer

To her heart beating in her chest

Many times her answers came as dreams

Or in the lyrics of her favorite songs

She began to hear the whisper of the angels

Feeling the presence of those things mostly unseen

I believe the earth needs those like me

The ones that notice

Our earth longs to be cherished

And loved beyond words

Recognized in all of her glory

Our beautiful blue boat home

For she is delighted to be seen

To share her secrets with those who want to know

And if you pay attention

There is so much you can learn

Tread lightly and shine brightly

For you have always been enough

Tonight I stayed outside to watch the sunset in its entirety

My earlobes felt like icicles

And my feet melted two spots in the snow

But it felt important

I watched as the clouds morphed into the ocean

And I could see islands in the sky

The veils are lifting

Can you feel it, too?
