I test the waters
shallow
then suddenly
I sink under
yet buoy
gently gliding
upon gentle
hands unseen
that cleanse
cleanse impurities
only I impose
upon myself

so as I sit and watch the sunset
I think of all the blessings
I received that day
all the gifts continuing to reign
for gifted are those
who refuse to abuse
accept nothing less than
what they deserve

I will reap
I will triumph
I already won
long ago history past
for I dreamed of a time
There was a prophecy
I would be shining
a true smile
a towering powerful
sunflower
never wavering
or wilting
undying
peaceful
true colors
glow
