Prayer Flag
Drop down
breathe deep
A long sigh
Ahhhhh…..
Let the pain unfurl
like a prayer flag
offered to the wind
Swirl it about
Send it over mountain tops
Let it whip the ocean white
Rain clouds drench it
Sunlight bleach it
Unravel the threads
until tattered cloth
so soft
gathered in my hand
Lift it to the mirror
Polish it so bright
Whose shining countenance
do I see
reflected back at me?
Pain transformed
into beauty deep
This I keep
This I keep
