Child Of The Sun
Change arrives brisk as the wind
Swift as the air upon the horizon
Rolling over hills and wisping by trees
smiling at its own reflection in freshwater springs
completely aware it’s on its way to meet the unsuspecting…
They say sometimes things have to fall a part in order to fall together
The same way seasons change and show us signs in the shifting weather
I ask myself often with deep wonder
How do I adapt to such things?
And why does the next version of me always seem to cost so damn much?
We very seldom talk about how much it hurts to break free
To bloom into flowers so the world can consume its beauty
while also taking for granted the pain it endured to grow
Never once acknowledging what it sacrificed to be here
We just chuck it up to being the circle of life
the ebb and the flow
accepting change where it’s met you
and wondering the next place you’ll go… you know?
It’s okay to stare at the pieces of what we once were.
Unwrapping ourselves from our skin and examining our shedding
in our search for understanding.
There's something intrinsic about the act of trying to discover the clues
tucked between our heart and rib cage
navigating the inner road map back to who you really are.
In some ways there's magic in the opportunity
picking up the pieces of what is and leaving behind what was
deciding who and what you're going to be
flipping over to a new page
beginning a new chapter, setting the next scene...
figuratively a fresh start; almost like a new beginning
The welcoming of a rebirth.
Allowing the chills of change to vibrate down your spine
Treating each moment after it lingers on with pace and grace
Calling in ease and letting love fill voids and empty space
As you let the light inside you guide your way through the dark unknown.
Finding your way back to you through gratitude; redefining fun.
honoring who you truly are: a child of the sun.
