Maybe you’ll forgive me
For never being around
For never planting my roots on solid ground
For rolling like thunder upon the wings of the wind
For conquering my internal war..finishing, only to begin again
For embracing my rapture, and escaping my capture
For returning again to the grave stone that still bears my name
For hurting the ones I love the most when the ones I thought loved me only saw my ghost.
For the twisted ladder I climb and the web that I rhyme, the sweet breath of near death and the elasticity of time.
For the coffee spilt on your white expensive rug and the broken glass under your feet that I left in my wake with my rage and defeat.
For trying to make you see me, for trying to be clear, but my mind is murky water and I was never really here.
For holding on too tight to friends who were always my enemies, and trusting enemies, who because of my kindness, consider us besties
For telling the truth under an umbrella of lies, that I thought would protect you from the darkening sky. But I could never hold a disguise.
For letting the wrong ones in, and the right ones go
For burying my heart in the cold December snow. For hiding my faith, and dumbing down my soul. I left myself quartered, broken pieces of a whole.
Where is the child I used to know so well? The queen of the dogwood, throwing pennies in the well, making wishes on tears, and dreaming of stars, singing in trees and trusting her art?
She is here now, I’ve only to call out her name, the girl I once was, the same as I became.
Four decades of trials, and errors paid, built muscle trudging through mud caked in shame.
But I have no need for armor, I left my thick skin on the ground, tossed off my boots and climbed barefoot up and around…
I’m back in my tree, with my white blossom crown.
I am my alpha, my omega,
Looking down at the world below
I sing my song as the cravens crow, and the branches bow and the leaves blow
I am everything that I have always known
Io Sono il mio Dio
