Unpainted... Beneath The Breath. Poem by Annalee Somerville

Unpainted... Beneath The Breath.

I see you,
Not as the image they painted,
but the storm you've withstood...
the quiet thunder folded beneath your breath.
You're still here,
still rising,
still falling like leaves
and somehow...
still rising like a tree.
Rooted in ache,
you dance with the wind... unapologetically alive.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
To me, falling like leaves speaks of transformation. How change, like the turning of seasons, makes room for something new. The falling isn't a failure. It's sacred release.
