For You by Barbara Billey

 

Great White Heron Lori Dejong, Photographer

For You

I feel your heart longing for

freedom from a past

that engraved a weight there

not lightened by a liquid elixir

rather by a light eternal 

already inside places hidden.

There is a path I see you following

discerned within a node of grace

delivered to your soul mail box 

by the Great White Heron.

You opened the golden envelope

embraced the invitation. 

Fly now through 

city streets on two wheeled wings

faithful to the next step before

you. 

You are beloved.
