still shining

still shining

radically have i changed

acrobatic, somersaults 

i have danced loudly,

on my toes.

bent over backwards

OR

arms stretched out 

to god.

i have crawled on my knees

wept, cried, sulked, sobbed.

chuckled, giggled ...

vivaciously lived through

my laugh.

the branches have grown

from the tree.

sun has shown on my path.

the light and darkness,

sit with me, 

each on a shoulder.

i see them both

but can only hear one.

the decent always firm,

always stands strong.

a cartwheel, twirl,

skipping still glimmers.

it always still shines.
