Moving up and out and beyond even the clouds
Seemingly open and distant
But the birds know the truth
Because there are threads that connect
Holding the stars and moon and sun in their place
Weaving the raindrops and the breezes together
Into a tapestry that tells a wonderful story
About how a new higher perspective
Is all that is needed to find peace and healing.
Transform your limbs into wings
And climb with the thermals
Circle up until even the mountains become pebbles
And the oceans just puddles upon the desert floor
And find your connection
With all seen and unseen
And all that has been, is and will be.
This is my journey
