Of Earth & Bones.

I grow with the seasons,

So as the seasons change,

I ebb and flow

And become

Closer to myself,

So as the seasons change,

I transform

From moon to sun

When night falls,

And I’m left with

My own shadow

We hold each other,

And look toward

The light of tomorrow

It is there,

“There” is where

I will find relief.

I’m almost there,

And “there” is where

I will find my peace.

I flow with the tides,

So as the tide goes out,

I am naked and raw,

And become

Closer to myself,

So as the tide comes in,

I am filled

With grace and love.

When night falls,

And I’m left with

My own shadow,

We hold each other,

And look toward

The light of tomorrow.

It is there.

“There” is where

I will find relief.

I’m almost there.

“There” is where

I will find my peace.

Of the Earth,

These bones are

My only home.

Of the Sea,

I know I am

never alone.

Of Fire,

I will carry on

through love

and strife.

Of the Air,

I surrender

And take flight.

It is there...

“There” is where

I will find relief.

I’m almost there...

“There” is where

I will find my peace.
