It has come to her before.
The message that had felt like lore
And made a home
Inside her core.
It ricocheted in her heart
Amidst the four walls
Of her soul.
Her spirit knew it,
And therefore,
She left her door open
For more.

Tree by tree
It becomes.
Acorns
Saplings
Alder
Gum.
Branch by branch
Green and dun.
Creepers
Leaners
Holders on.
A woodland
Is more than its
Sum.

Make room for growth
Inside yourself,
So that you may find counsel
In the wisdom
You possess,
And in the unfolding knowledge
That might feel today
Not much more
Than a guess.

It is in your grasp
To take hold
To absorb
Offered light
Life’s rewrite.
It’s within your soul
To recall
To be bold
In the hollowed out space
Of your mind
To breathe deep
To grow whole.

May we never stop to wonder.
May we never lose a dream.
May the image in our spirit
Find its way into our realm.
May the fairies that can flutter
In our younger, fresher soul,
Move forth awe and harvest marvel
To grow us closer to our whole.

Weave the fabric
Of your life.
Reshape
Reuse
The warp,
The woof.
Line up
Soft hues
In the
Foundation
You call
Home.

Allow an image of your soul
To echo through the chambers
Of your heart.
Let it take form
So your budding spirit can
Take root and unfurl
Your self
Into full bloom.

In every day
There’s room for
Gentle lectures
About living.
No scolding.
No critic.
Just a voice
To give
Some space,
A softened claim
To being.

There is magic
In remaining
A bit
Stumped
By life.
Bewilderment may well
Reverberate
The strings of
Myth
Enough to generate
A perch for
Understanding.

Do not stifle
Truth
Or hope.
Hold fast the
Pieces
That were
In fear
Squelched back
Or were suppressed
By those pretending
To be
Righteous.
Let go.
Let be
The glorious unfurling
Of your being.
It is who you have been
Meant
To grow into
Before
And all along.
