I am still learning
To find meaning: In life, in people, in the little things
Still finding my roots
Still tracing my beginnings so I may understand my endings
Still trying to connect, to see more – be more

 

I am still
Searching for answers by asking more questions
Still figuring out what kind of footsteps I leave behind
Will someone trace me from them?
If I am lost, will I run back along them?
Will I always have second chances?
Or other attempts at trying something different

 

I am still
Walking on shoulders of those that came before
Learning from them
But also sharing my privilege
In the hope that others may rise
If I rise, it is my obligation to pull others
So that my society may rise

 

I am still
Learning to love, to put others first
Learning when to trust
Is it  strength or vulnerability?
I am still searching for my center
The axis on which I rotate
I am still taking leaps without sight
I am a child that way and will always be

 

I am still
Laughing and hurting
From some losses
Of loved ones, of partners
Of dreams, some not mine
That are no more
I still wonder what we could have been!
I am still learning
To let go
To heal my wounds but carry the scars with pride
For I learnt from them

 

I am still
Believing the Great I am
Standing still, In the den
To let Him move
Because in Him I find my being
My tomorrows are not in stone
My now… I own

 

A student of life
Forever and always
