Serendipity

Serendipity
found me bathing in the rain
and releasing grip
of ties that no longer serve me.
You watched from your window 
my soul getting lighter
as layers of heaviness 
fell away 
one by one.
And you wondered
who I was.
You never knew me before,
beyond a silhouette 
moving haphazardly 
across the wall of your
comfort zone.

You appreciate the shapes shifting
and try to capture them
in your mind's eye
for an early morning inspiration 
when the world still dreams
of innocence.

Like a butterfly whirling,
I am here and there
and everywhere,
and you are patient.
Watching the colors swirl
and energy shift 
from holding to releasing,
from gripping to unveiling,
from forcing to allowing,
from resistance to acceptance,
you find a way into my mind
and there are no more walls
and no more shadows
cast by the sun at high noon.
You no longer wonder who I am.
And I no longer entertain the
ambivalence.
I am you.
You are me.
Souls on a journey 
to a higher elevation.

As the rains come,
we welcome the showers
of grace and gratitude,
a rainbow 
of connection
from your heart
to mine.
