A Paradise of Poems

Nice to meet you, I said

I admire your strength
You have courage and patience
I once only dreamt

You stand tall and move forward with passion, yet grace

Your rivers are flowing, there is light on your face

And another, and another, it’s an infinite ascend
Or you can feel with your heart, put your toes in the sand
And know all you need is right where you stand

The way trees talk to roots, and clouds talk to wind
There you’ll find all the answers you’ve been searching for
And the light that is dim will shine once more

Oh, thank you! I said, full of joy and much glee

Then I noticed
There was something familiar to me

I saw who she was
