Courage of the Spirit    


Who are you?
Off in the distance i see
you sitting there.
As i walk towards you
each blade of grass massages
my feet.
Looking at you i see  how
peaceful and still you are.
The birds in nearby trees
sing to you and you just listen.
As I move closer a gentle
breeze blows through my hair
it feels so refreshing
and
I wonder who are you?
Standing right beside you,
still you do not move, I see
your gaze upon the view.
Quietly i sit beside you
and
feel the peace from within.
Taking a few deeps I wonder
who are you.
Slowly you turn your and face me,
your face so pure and bright.
Then I see who you are.
You are me, the one I've tired
to hide.
As we embrace I feel the love
we share and gently my
heart is full again.
Now I know who you are
I am free to be just me.
