Kimberly
I stood upon the shore,
closed my eyes to see
the beauty and the wonder
of the place my life has taken me
In the stillness of that one moment
I felt an inner peace
a deep, abiding understanding
of the woman, that was me
With the wind's gentle caress
and the sun's warmth upon my face
I encircled my arms around me
until myself I embraced
And with my understanding
I let go of yesterday
opened my eyes once more
smiled, and walked away...
