Journeyy Alone.... Poem by Jenny O'Kane

The days pass like seconds,
But still you stand and stare,
Up on the grassey highlands,
Breathing and tasting the clear air,

Walk softly to a shady tree,
Reach out and touch its body,
Close your eyes tightly,
Your journey will be rocky,

Lay beneath the long grass,
Stroke it with your fingertip,
Watch the clouds slowly pass,
Listen, as the rain starts to drip,

Let it fall down over you,
Stand up and take it in,
Lift your arms to breakthrough,
With your heart, just spin,

Spin as the rain makes you pure,
Set your soul free,
Let it be much more,
Then you believe it to be,

Slow yourself down to a stop,
Come back to your world,
Look down from the hilltop,
See your life flash and twirl,

Turn around and let go,
Fall through the happy times,
and cry at the sad,

Keep falling beneath it all,
Watch it fade into the distance,
Land into a waterfall,
Don't move as it carries you far away,

You will be home soon,
Just hold on tight,
Rise up high with the moon,
Everything will be alrite.
