…for my sisters beyond borders
When I cried and spoke of my fears
When I laughed and could not stop rolling
When I thought and thought and thought unaware
When I took my name and made sense of my being
When I spoke of the world only I had seen
When I started my journey of unwinding this life
When I figured I was not alone on it…
You walked by me as I walked by you
You heard me and I heard you
You felt me in your heart and I did that too…
My fears were gone and I shone as the sun
My love had a new face – no form no pun
Away from the fixtures, away from the game
My strength had faces, voices, names
I flew, I dived, I basked, I danced and ran
Through my soul’s new found country land
Let’s not spell it in a name or two
It’s abundant as life and delicate as dew…

Thats amazing land your soul found…its beautiful
Your innocence in describing the heartfelt makes it beautiful.
giving voice to your feeling is unbeleavable
it’s beautiful
Very touching!! Beautiful….
