Fifteen by Ms.AyeVee
15 is the shepherd
The light of one and five
The guide
Creating the path in the daytime so you may find your way through the dark
A stoic leader quiet and serene
Both soft breeze and hurricane
In a world of chaos, 15 is prepared for anything
A gentle reminder to never be afraid to ask for what you need
15 is your intuition
That tingling in your belly when something feels just right
and the gut punch that takes your breath away when you went left but should’ve went right
15 is trust
In yourself and the world around you
Tell me, how would you move if you knew you could not lose?
15 is the knowing that regardless of the path you choose
you are right where you’re supposed to be
Everything divinely orchestrated
A path set forth eons before our ancestors ever existed
What if we are all the sleeping shepherd?
Unaware of our light
Unknowingly creating paths in the daytime so we can find our way through the dark
A guide through your own chaos
Maybe we are 15 on the inside just trying to find our way out
Keep walking
Keep creating
The world is waiting
