When Life Comes Together
And she began the walk
The walk of only she,
breathing in, knowing she was breathing in
breathing out, knowing she was breathing out
She listened to the sounds of
the stillness
the bird songs
the beeping construction equipment
the roar of an airplane overhead
the creak and pop of the plastic fence
the screech of the vulture as he took flight
the long distance cough of another echoing across the wetland the jingle of her
earrings in the breeze
the whir of the traffic in the distance
She felt the soft breeze
brush her cheeks
lifting her hair ever so gently.
She focused
her eyes on the vibrant pink flower
and found her thoughts to be ….
I am the flower swaying in the breeze
The flower is me
She focused her eyes on the crisp green
blades of grass hosting plump round droplets
of water
I am the blade of grass hosting the water droplets
the blade of grass is me
I am the water droplet resting on the blade of grass
the water droplet is me
She focused her eyes on the majestic vulture
I am the vulture resting on a rock
The vulture is me
She focused her eyes on and lay her hands upon
the crooked and tall tree.
I am the tree standing crooked and tall
the tree is me
And she is,
and they are,
fulfilling life.
And she ended the walk
The walk of the One.
breathing in, knowing she was breathing in
breathing out, knowing she was breathing out. ©Camilla Downs
