be gentle, be loving
patient and proud
of the wind and tears
that carved a goddess
from suffering
Kwan Yin’s kindred spirit
is learning to listen
to the cries of the world
and stay till there is ease
as she listens to her own body
the dance of sensations
ok as she is
a caged heart
trusting her wingspan
to fly beyond the bounds
of fear and unmet expectations
she is still exploring
she is still unfinished
