Illumination ~ Janice Becker Haynes

You who hold tenderly the journey
the breath of life
breath

You who hold passion and joy
the fire of life
burn

You who hold hands with a little child
learn to follow that child
explore

You who wander with no purpose
enjoy firefly moments
hike to clear waterfalls
until your inner knowing
forms a path for your feet

You who teach, wise ones,
so full of life
having lived well
willing to guide
remember to continue on your own journey

You may turn your back to others
We see the light you follow
blazing around you
and go to seek our own.
