Her hair slips over her eyes
As the wind whips around her
Gazing through strands
The distant boats like specs
Standing firmly on the sand
Fully grounded and at ease
The seagulls sit quietly
The waves move gently
She inhales and exhales a message
It’s heard all the way across
The oceans of time and space
Revealing a secret worth waiting for
The sun says stay
The sky opens its mouth wide
The trees hold her in place
The air protects her voice
Tell me, how do you keep knowing
How do you keep growing
How do you keep loving
How do you keep living
An island floating in the sea and the sky
Accessible only from great height
Only from great depth
When found, rewards in ecstasy
She stands isolated
An island, waiting for the next one
To shelter and nourish
She appears when you need her most
Tell me, how do you keep knowing
How do you keep growing
How do you keep loving
How do you keep living
A single drop of sweat falls
From her cheek and onto her lip
The salt mimics her breath
Desperate in thirst, a deep gasp
Sing do the flowers beside her
As she turns her head
To thank them for being
The sweetest episode of today’s show
The climb down and the climb up
Worth every lost and found
Feeling of grief, peace and love
Quietly restored
She has given everything she can
From her place of power
From her place of purpose
It is up to the angels now
The ground holds her
The sky reasons
The ocean fiercely
Calms the fire, slows the flame
Without, she is sticks and stones
Within, she is blood and bones
Above, she is your friend
Below, she is a master blend
An island, existing
For the shipwrecked
For the abandoned
For the broken
Waiting
