three pillars

falling in love everyday
and loving life
I wait patiently like
trees bending in the
howling wind


did I appreciate beauty today
over-stand any obstacles
unwrap all the gifts of the day
brought on by
time unfolding


did I appreciate accomplishments
entertain any new ideas
think freely
entirely open myself to todays beauty
rough or smooth
minimizing self doubt
I stand a little taller
nature reminds to have confidence
and no fear
think freely
I stand tall against all
obstacles and know
now is the time...
