The You of You
The Sun’s warming rays caressed my skin
It’s light shifting, climbing to a higher plane
It chases away Winter’s chill which yet lies heavy on my bones
Bird songs pierce the stillness, calling for mates
Trees awaken, buds break and blossom, beginning this new season
Colors tint the branches, breaking through the browns and grays
The greens will soon follow painting the landscape with broad strokes
The natural world does not worry or fret
There is no clinging to what was or what might be
All is as it is, in It’s pattern
The trees, Tree. The birds, Bird. The water finds It’s level.
No counting of days. No ticking clocks. No regrets. No fear.
The acorn is both the tree and the nut at once
It’s form merely changes in It’s season
So seek your season not your purpose
Put down roots, reach for the Sun, feel the moment as it comes
There is no reason in the rhyme of you or plans that must be made
But rather sway with the breezes that blow
Rest when you are weary and seek that which nourishes your soul
And the You of You will emerge as if of Their own accord
Unbidden, no struggle, no doubt, no fear
Just you. Separate, exquisite, unique among all others
Just you as you are
And that is more than enough
Great messages in this poem. ” Seek your season not your purpose” I will think about this some more.
Thank you for being here. Blessings as you bloom.
What a lovely thought! 😀

That is so, so beautiful Wordsmith… Like a walk through the woods. I’m so glad you posted it, even without the accompaniment. It’s gorgeous. 🙂
🙂 I still grin when you brag on me.
Well it’s good, and I’m proud of you. Always. <3
