I sought answers from your spirit, when you were young, wild, and strong. I longed to be free, like you, and admired your defiance when others sought to bind you. You couldn’t live by their ways. They told me to keep pushing you, and I did, I pushed you, hard to be true to yourself, to keep finding yourself. Now, in the stillness of this place I sit quietly next to your bones. Someone said that energy is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes form and that comforts me... I bring flowers and prayers and my fingers grope in the dirt seeking answers once again. How shall I live? The breeze nudges apples off the tree above your stone. An autumn leaf message is delivered in soundless voice... be joyful now... I whisper my response, to your soul. I pray that you are still free. And I pray you will stay near me, and push me, hard... |

Kahlil? more free than they were here on this plain: I pray that you are still free. I cannot see them NOT pushing you, they already have, look above *grin* This is one amazing write. |
