I Found in Me

The dust settled;
the wind no longer blew;
and I found in me,
what had grounded me
but, to my surprise,
it wasn't you.

Eloquence.
Punctured only
by streams of sunshine
and the soothing sounds
of intricate drums.

Fear.
… infused with faith
and peppered with love
for the simple pleasures:
sips of coffee interrupted
by glances at pages
of leather-bound treasures.

Romance.
A firm obsession
with sincere expressions,
and an utter devotion
to hope.

Kinks and curls
of a story to be told,
by an independent voice
of a woman...
daring to be bold.

These are the things
I found in me.
