A Lost and Found Me

searching for myself
in a forest of flying fowl
perched atop cloud touching trees
releasing their melodies
meandering through densely populated wooded areas
thorny berry bushes obstructing narrow paths
prickly intrusions like wild thoughts
preventing my forward flow
looking for myself
under a canopy of cloudless skies
with endlessly blended directions
free from gloom filled realities
a confused me with
heavily burdened thoughts
heavily placed feet
disturbing carpets of vegetation
as whispering leaves blanketing the landscape
gently succumb to the earth’s calling
continuing my search
clutching myself
walking along … suspended
in an unreal dream of yesterday’s memories
sun rays streaking through branches
a boundless vitality of trees
reaching for the sun’s blessings
pristine unhindered streams freely flowing
bordered in glimmers of a hopeful continuity
a newly realized me manifests as
pureness and promises of clarity
remind me of the need for self-trust
roaming NORTHWARD,
wandering SOUTHWARD
going EAST… moving WEST
each direction here I am
embracing a soul soothing solace
with wind cleansed visions
bringing rose petal fragrances
lavender memories … jasmine delights
leading to harmonious reflections
brightening the way
vanishing obstructions
no escape from the real me
breathing in … surrendering
surrendering … surrendering
embracing myself
I embrace ME
