If I’m so lucky to be 

Here in this place

Where the highest is seen,

Where it feels like instant death

And new beginning,

So let it be.

Always before 

On tiptoe,

Not ready to see,

Not ready to accept

That the highest good

Seems so empty,

Yet... it outlasts everything,

Its worth forever shedding life

Like fragrance on a summer’s day,

Quietly like a mother

Nursing her young.

I am so lucky,

And I am here,

Ready to see,

Ready to be

Shedding my love

To the day.
