Almost there
Waiting, wishing, wanting
For it all to be over soon
Or will I?

All the wonderings
Of all the wanderings
Is my life unfolding
Ever so quickly
Ever so quietly

I feel the deepness within
Each mountain moving
Tectonic plates grinding against one another
At a glacial and yet monumental pace

For this is how it feels
To be alive
In this life
In this body
As this soul

As I have said many times before
Yet here I am
Trying my best
To live in these moments
Simply
Beautifully
Unapologetically

I rise
