to fly above the stillness
November 10th, 2005my body
stiff and rigid, was given wings
to move about and extend
to dance and flex with freedom
my mind
was stilled, and ever silent
focused on pinpoint reflection
calmed, like a silent stream
my heart
was left, by the sea
in the days, that followed
a lasting memory, unchained me
my soul
was given freedom, to fly
in the years, that passed
a forgotten wisdom, had found me
to fly above the stillness
to soar into the clear, blue sky
to grasp with mindfulness
to find an inner wisdom
to reflect on the passing moment
to love and feel
to find one’s inner spirit
to search the soul within…
there was a time when life was complex
but, in actuality, life has always been simple
we make mountains when there is actually a peaceful, green valley
to live in peace is to fly above the stillness
to love is to find compassion and kindness in all
to fly above the stillness
is to search deep within your soul
…and find the wisdom you seek.
