out on a limb...

i was a starving ghost in the wilderness...i was the struggle in ropes and chains...i was the darkness of my own invitation...i was the disaster washed ashore...i was the bundle left at the doorstep...i was the child in small broken rooms...i was fear tasted at midnight...i was the hard swallow...the muffled cry...the cascade of pain crowding in...

then the evolution of the revolution came...in books and people...in plays and poems...in paintings and dances....in beaches and bones...in mountains and valleys...in caves and sky...in all of this i was found and held in loves open heart...

in tears i was cleansed...in songs of prayer i praised...in unfolding wings i was nested...in soft thoughts i was saved...

and here i rest in my own nature...wildflower smile and ocean salt...a lake in my mind to sit by and watch the moonlight reach out...

i shift a foot and find a talon...i reach an arm up to see a wing...feathers catch  kisses  from the breeze...i lift up my new body with faith...i catch a tree limb and perch ...

i watch the moonlight caress the lake...i wait for my own soul mate as well...yet it is enough to have moon and lake dance together so lovingly...to watch the slow breathing of stars at peace...it is enough to taste the sweetness of a summer too majickal for words...

this moment is full...i am grateful..i am happy...
