power of your presence
scorches my smallness….
how did I not see you
all these years
as you grew,
blossomed,
changed,
turned unrecognizable
and flew?
did I drink
in your benevolence
as you gave yourself away
drop-by-drop
pint-by-pint
and swelled
into the shape of oceans?
did I think
with closed eyes
seeing shapes
you’d outgrown
while you transformed
into butterflies
made of light?
power of your presence
mocks my awareness….
