Lightening

I was saved by a maple tree,
comforted by a mulberry tree.
I was sheltered
under a cloud of lilacs.
I am a woman raised by a river.
I am a daily student
fervent to learn.
I am an Old One
quiet with not-knowing.
I am a changing song.
I throw a tender kiss goodbye
to eight decades of stories.
How I lighten, oh!
I make ready
to continue without a body.
