Reflections Within

by Faith Tanner-Thrush

I stand outside myself
looking without
looking within

I unfurl my ancestral wings
a wood thrush
I soar untethered

I view my inner being
I sing my melodic song

I home myself
in majestic forest clearing

I sit cross-legged
on my mother's lap
and listen to the flute
of my father's song
