Dragons and Daisies by Alison McKenzieI’m on that part of the spiral,
The steep incline,
And I’m breathless with the effort.
A more difficult stretch
Will soon appear.
I remember.
I remember.
Karma comes so quick,
It knocks the wind out of me.
But I know that after,
There is cool, green grass
Not much further;
I hear the blades rustle in the breeze -
Only a little longer to trek.
Then, I will lie down.
I will watch the clouds
Turn themselves into dragons
And daisies.
I will drift on a nameless tide ,
Snoozing through lucid dreams
And flight.

Posted by Mo Couts on 07/28/11 at 11:19 AM A person keeps learning the same lessons until the Creator's decided we've gotten them perfectly down pat, I think. No worries; knowing you like I do and having the faith I do, I can say that I think you're *this* close to that point *hugs* |
