Pip

I left you

Too soon

It seems.

But not until I was sure.

Not until I saw you

Move

From fear

To mastery

To strength

To majesty.

 

That is why I came.

 

Into the deepest part

Of the wilderness

And the wildness

Within

You went.

And I saw you safely

And completely

Through this journey.

 

That is why I came.

 

And I will come again

In moments

Of Wildness and Passion

Of Freedom and Spirit.

And in moments when you are tested

I know you will remember.

 

I was

Your Wildness and Passion

Your Freedom and Spirit.

I came

As flesh

So you could more easily know me.

 

You were

Uncertain and tender

Now you are Soaring

Now you have wings

I am within you

Now.

 

That is why I came.

 

(Voula Augerinos, 1999)
