Live Life Unfettered

Wayward Motions

Live life unfettered 

Lasso the Morose 

Seek not only the sullen

For there, a lily can never grow

Darkness and Light, the circle of life

Always cherish the beauty 

that blazes through the night

Be a seeker of knowledge

Whilst traveling through the sands of time

Your brilliance beckons 

Those who wish to shine

May your viridescent dancing orbs

Never dwell too long in desolation 

Let Lunar dreams harvest your divine energy

And soak into the roots of your soul 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this tonight on the eve of my my step-daughter's 17th birthday. I've been in her life since she just a little over the age of 1. I may not have birthed her, but we share a bond that I never thought I would ever want nor have with a "child." Up until the age of 24, I thought I never wanted to get married or have kids, but when I met her father I knew he was the one for me and we've been together for 16 years. I'm grateful for the the bond her and I have and no matter what the world has thrown at our little family, I would never change that for anything. Where has the time gone? Where will it go? Who knows, but I wanted to share this poem I wrote for her. I hope she enjoys it when she gets her birthday card tomorrow.

One of my favorite poems. I love the line, "my baseball cap a soiled crown."
