I saw my future last night,
In the white feather and the rabbit that crossed the road at 11:03
while he drove the car.
I saw the girl that I was meant to become
As I cross the river,
Into a new territory.

I saw my past last night too.
I saw a blonde, curly-headed girl give me validation to leave
To say goodbye.
I saw fear, hesitation, and hate in her eyes.

I saw my angel,
kissing me on the cheek
As tears stream down her face, stinging her scars.
She wore her denial of the reality that hit her like a truck
a mask over her face.

And for the first time in six months,
I saw clarity and
Felt serenity in my life.
I understand where I have to go,
How to cross the river,
How to express and emote.
Today, I look at the blue sky with the white blurs,
And the blooming lavender and the blossoming rosemary with faith,
And soaring red hawk with ambition,
And a single rose on flourishing bush with purity.
