Oh Look I See You

I am absorbed
watching you
as your bud opens
petal by petal 
before me.

The winter is so very cold
so my hand that grips your stem
indeed
is all the warmth your flowering needs.

Looking For Me

My garden heart

is growing now

the pain has warmed

my healing feels

it came from knowing

how unreal

things really were

until I retrieved her.

Hello I see you now.

Where I looked longingly

you were not,

where I searched

you were unseen,

where I lived

you had been

and now delightedly

I have found

the earth you tread is crystal ground.

The Love has come

to warm my heart

so wind-chimes bring

deeper resonance

by looking-in

to where my story did begin

a chapter writes itself anew

as I let go of searching you

I found the Little One.

The looking child lost to me

found hope and wholeness in the happily

ever after.

I want you to know I see you. I love you. You are deeply loved.
