Stretching

Stretching like a cat that
I know I have been,
To an unknown future
beyond what is safe, secure, unchanging.
Stretching like the tree
I know I am becoming,
encouraging my branches to be like
bridges for my future self.
Searching for my expansive sky,
flexing my butterfly wings
to include my life’s dreams, visions.
Stretching the limits of imagination
and time itself,
doors fly open
walls dissolve
a rainbow encircles the moon,
ideals are reborn.
My compassionate heart reawakens,
I remember to care for my tender wings,
and lend a caring hand to our mother earth.
As my roots go deep into the center of
the earth and become whole.
Traveling the many roads of life,
I find my path and discover
there are many doors, keys, roads,
to travel on my journey.
I know I am the heroine on my path,
respecting my fate,
creating my destiny in this very moment.
