I was like the wind<\/p>\n
mute<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
in fury<\/p>\n
I molded oceans into waves<\/p>\n
silently rolled them<\/p>\n
onto mountains<\/p>\n
until \u00a0\u00a0mountains \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 broke \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 down<\/p>\n
I scurried<\/p>\n
through flowers<\/p>\n
hurried through<\/p>\n
meadows; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0wordlessly<\/p>\n
carried clouds<\/p>\n
birds \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 seeds<\/p>\n

then<\/p>\n
at the peak of my frustration<\/p>\n
I found you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
you were like a tree<\/p>\n
solid<\/p>\n
quiet<\/p>\n
sincere<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and while you could not educate<\/p>\n
or control me<\/p>\n
you stood there and watched me fail<\/p>\n
to mold \u00a0\u00a0roll \u00a0\u00a0or \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0carry you<\/p>\n
to push you down<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
you stood<\/p>\n
unaffected<\/p>\n
as I threw tantrum<\/p>\n
after tantrum<\/p>\n
until my rage was worn out and tired<\/p>\n
until I understood<\/p>\n
that I must<\/p>\n
slow<\/p>\n
down<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that my strength<\/p>\n
does not<\/p>\n
match your frailty<\/p>\n
that it\u2019s only when I run my fingers<\/p>\n
calmly<\/p>\n
peacefully<\/p>\n
against your lips<\/p>\n
only when I brush your hair gently<\/p>\n
that you will open your palms<\/p>\n
and give me back<\/p>\n
my true voice<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
