These Five Years

These 5 Years.

Slipping through my fingers like
        helium balloons on a windy day
I Chase You.

Looking up to this Infinite Mystery
    where you ruled before
         I found you were
             buried deep inside me.

My Heart Beating in the World
          in one strong push,
              breathing this foreign name:
        "MamAhhhhhh." 

A new voice planted in desperate soil,
    words so fresh to the air they,
         move Mountains and Moons and Suns.
This power she possesses:

She Owns Me.

And these next 5 years
     sit simmering on the stove before me.
         Ready to boil over.
Evaporating through these fingers worn from;
                  Hanging on.
              &
                  Letting go.

This Growing Up and Away and Apart
        in this earthly womb
bound by the weight of an emotional gravity.
Holding me back
                                 and launching her forward
                                            into hopes and dreams.

We meet in these spaces of imaginary Tug-a-War.

Hers will be a Beautiful Destiny.

This World around which I revolve.
    A worthy Journey of
      gathering glimpses of the Solstice:
         I Wave. Always. Goodbye.
