Just Being There

So Long And Living On

Corfu cotton, long forgotten,

you are my favourite one.

Double-stitched and reinforced,

with me when all challenges came,

as life, it seemed, departed me

again.

But there you were,

wash and wear anywhere,

dusky shades of muted blue

with smoky colours rising through.

Years and years go by,

leaving and grieving,

starting on a new pathway,

meeting love along the way,

so, as wisdom walks with me

I see beyond with clarity.

You cloak me softly

when courage

 calls me through the light,

then beams of joy are rising high.

All I ever need

envelops me as a seed,

encourages me

to flower like the brightest one,

to raise my mind

with the Solar Sun,

as I see who you are

 my little child upon the earth

who joins me now

in joy and mirth,

evermore to be

shining perfectly.
