Embracing myself in
A sea of discontent
Waves of disappointment
Tides of despair
Pools of disbelief

Embracing myself in
Grains of uniqueness
Footprints of strangers
Pathways of loved-ones
Pools of doubt

Embracing myself in
Clouds of confusion
Winds of openness
Sunrays of hope
Pools of warmth

Embracing myself in
The sounds of my soul
Sights of life's offering
Feelings of oneness
Pools of acceptance

Embracing myself in
The essence of being
Phases of living
Resilience of purpose
Pools of compassion

Embracing myself in
Sunrises of welcome
Sunsets of departure
Stars of night's promise
Pools of soul love
