I spent my first 21 years searching
In the quiet of the trail
in the stillness of the view
where the urban landscape meets the bay
and the blazing sky casts a glow that ripples through the city, softening the edges
I listened and compiled desires
then I moved through the world with an eager knowing
anticipating the moment I would meet him
I wrote a letter
addressed to him, though his name and face were fuzzy recollections from my dreams
And when we met
I casually pulled out the letter
It’s you, I realized
I have a letter for you
The magic persisted for the next 21 years
The house that opened up in a spontaneous act of the divine
The children, who illuminate the world with their radiance
The trailer, handed to us as though wrapped in a bow
a gift from the universe
The life that was almost lost, yet resurrected stronger than ever
As these 21 years come to a close
the magic morphs and moves with us
What may appear to be the end
is only the reforming of the essence
like an iron sculpture, melted down and cast into something new
Cast into family
into friendship
Solid and beautiful
arms wide open to welcome the world
