" Found"

I come here each Day

I am Searching 

The Water, the olde Bridge-
the Trees 

They are my outward View 

Yet, my Search 
remains Inward.

I want to tell someone
about my Search 
But what do I say
My Search is leading me 
into New Territory-
Unknown Territory
How do I Reveal this to another.


I watch the people
Do they hold a Clue
I am at Home with the Children
They wear no Masks
I am Drawn to their Honesty
I Understand their Curiosity
I Trust their Vulnerability.


I study the Birds-
flitting from branch to branch
I like their Certainty
I watch the Geese and Ducks
I am in Awe of their timeless Grace
They Live within their Space in Time
They are Free.
 

   
The Clouds Gather
My Eyes begin Tracing them for an Image-
another Clue
I Know it is Written here
In this Place, I so dearly Love
Here I am Not Alone
It is the Cloak of my Healing.  
  

I Breathe Deeply
Until my Lungs are Filled-
Amassed with this Sacred Beauty
My Heart beats in Unison
with this Place-this Sanctuary
Here I am Not Lost
But I am Found. 


I walk to the Middle of the Bridge
Standing, Looking out onto the Water
A Bass Leaps in the late afternoon Sun
Then, I realise
I never go Completely across the Bridge
It is Time for me to Risk it-
Follow my Heart's Leading
I will Cross the Bridge...
