Aiyta's Journey.

Following the rivers of life.

Aiyta walked on

listening to her inner being

her soul

far older than its years

far reaching up to the earth's Zenith.

To reach her haven

her safe zone

through which flowed

the precious

River Of Life.

Sheltered by cliffs

craggy and grey:

a pounding surf

threatening in volumes:

a swollen strength

threatening enticing

in a deep crescendo.

Barefooted she

skips

as sure footed

as each forest dweller;

inhaling

appreciating the magic

of the winds

gently caressing her face

and drying those salt laced tears.

of the winds.

Tasting the salt Aiyta finds a second strength

urging

prompting

inviting

inspiring

onwards and upwards

to follow the flow

to arrive at the estuaries

of her journey

her choice.

Rolling smoothed down stones

smothered by spurts of foam filled jets

to swirl in meandering worth

around each jagged rock.

Aiyta inhales

filling her being

to trust

to follow

her mentor

her guide

her

River Of Life.

Surrounded by nature's gifts

those infant buds

each satin laced blossom extending their

worth

to strengthen a sweet heart

a heart full of love

a soul so mature

and to be filled with life's amazing sustenance.

Feeling the need to learn

to fly

she climbs

over life's boulders

breaking through life's piercing thorns

to win battles against life

raging storms.

Her aim filled

with such meaning

strength and conviction!

Upwards she climbs

at times clinging

only by bruised and skinless fingertips

but always clinging on for dear life.

A heart urging

a soul's wisdom.

Aiyta's whole being pulsating

with a deep pride

like no other.

Standing tall on her plateau

looking down on her journey;

Past events

and

people shrunk

into almost

invisible specks.

Looking over at her estuary from now on

knowing storms

and

obstacles await

but now also knowing for sure

her own strength.

Knowing that her destiny lies

so near

so close

trepidation and fear now replaced

by pride and confidence.

The confidence

to find

her estuary

her destiny

her all.
