This song, this melody
Is fluid and unbroken
A ring of fire
Circling a mother’s love
Inside a child’s wonder
Lives a trail of hope.
Under drumming notes of sacred thunder
Love falls up and hate
Bursts into a bright, bubbling river
She wades into it
As a rich, honeyed psalm washes over her
Dissolving, cleansing, healing frayed bits from the battlefield.
She laughs, blowing out with both peace and wildfire
Suddenly, the calm is replaced by a soaring anthem
She stomps out, grinning, flinging her hair
Belting out a made-up tune the crows envy
It is catchy, eclectic, heroic
It knows her.
Carving joy with each step,
She dances over a golden bridge
To a magical island
Where all fulfilled wishes live,
Unplucked but ripe
She sits in the grass and counts them
Between moments of suspended breaths
Finding freedom in ripples of silent wonder
An invitation to dance
She needed to unplug and rest, but she is back now
Ready.
