LBI, Barnegat Lighthouse

It was a brief moment in time

Not lasting more than a couple of hours

But during that time something in me shifted

I did not realize it was happening

So natural, so easy, so radiant

A new light was shed inside me

Thoughts, ideas, and feelings blossomed

I see things differently now

Viewing myself in a whole new perspective

Feeling the motion of the world more peacefully

Looking back I can see

That it was in those moments that I was truly myself

Breathing in the adventure of life

Standing deeply rooted in who I am

Beauty surrounded me

As I simply existed

Just as I was meant to do

Spinning

/

Spinning around and around

Unsure of landing my feet on the ground

I thought I was brave, ready to take the leap

But here I spin

Am I afraid to stand

Feet firmly planted on the ground

Soaking in my hearts desires?

Am I afraid to speak

Using my voice, my words

Saying out loud what I truly long for?

I thought I was fearless

Flying through the air

Facing all that came my way

But have I been avoiding the truth

Have I been hiding behind my shadow

Only showing an illusion of myself?

Feeling lost and confused

Trying to steady myself on the ground

Looking to see deep inside of me
