Awakening...

My fear sits, in all it's beauty on the window sill

In the form of a feather.

Simple and there.

Suddenly, I treasure the light she brings me

And, heart open, instead of turning away, I meet her.

So vibrant, there for me to teach me all she knows.

Now earthly things step back into shadows, shades slipping into darkness.

The eye does not see, but the heart knows.

You must look away to understand.

Let it go.

Now there is only the window, and your breath upon it.

Life outside stands in silken silence.

Wrapping tree arms around you, let it go.

Now, there is only, Now.
