I look up and I see her
Her hair is moving with the soft wind as she glides
Upon the path beside the ocean
Where the rocks meet the crashing waves
It is a still and beautiful morning
With every step she takes
Her shoulders are straighter
Finally taking care of herself
In ways she could not find to do before
Her mind used to be so troubled
So sad and so confused
Anxiety of people
Who could not see her and never understood
The heart of gold within her
Just wanting to find home
Wanting family and friends
But born to grow out of
And into new dimensions
So misunderstood
Ahead of her time
But I look at her now
And I see her placid face
As she stops to stare
And absorb the sunrise
On the hilltop by the sea
Where it all comes together
No more fear
Only resolve
To build the dreams she thought had died
There is a knowing now
The past is gone
Every failed attempt forgiven
And gratitude for the lessons learned
The path will be rocky
The ground will shift about
But shes found her balance
The core of who she really is
Not clouded by doubt and fear
She was there all the time
Buried under the weight
Of others fears
Too many tears were shed
The ground was made soft by them
And they were not wasted
As they softened her heart
And made it pliable and ready
To be authentic
Full of faith
The kind that moves mountains
That inspires others to step out
It will be magical
Surrounded by mystery
But beautiful and free
Just as she is
The sun has risen
It’s fury and energy she absorbs
As she breaths deeply
Time to move now
So much to be done
Making up for lost years
She takes flight
Spreading her wings
Rising high into the sky
I watch till she is out of sight
I close my eyes and I am there
All my parts merge
Infant, child, teen, young, aging
Time is short
But it will be valued and not wasted
It will yield the fruit of my labor
It’s time
