intuition

like an animal knows its way home
in the dark
like the feeling that feeds itself
on what it has inside
and like the wind that blows over
the strongest tree in the wood
this is bigger than any of us
and move with it we will

and knowing this gives grace
and humility
bowing to what you cannot change
will make of you
what you will be
and more than you could ever dream
trust
in the thoughts, the feelings
the life that guides you to this storm
trust
that calm and warmth
awaits you
on the other side
of this steep and somehow solemn slope
the meadow will be sweeter
if you let your intuition
take you there
trust and intuition make you
gentle
strong and fair
intuition
is the heart of the matter
trust
is the love that makes you dare

lost in shadow

sometimes the brightest star
is lost
to the shadow
lost in the corner
where no one sees
shining too bright
blinding
outright
can't stop the light
but
maybe
just maybe
some day
someone will see
and the star will shine
in the proper sky
not under the cloud
you now see

waiting for someone to
be able to see
that what meets the eye
is not all there is
that
lost in shadow
is the greatest gift
a treasure unknown
and rarely seen
until then
lost in shadow
is how it will be
