I found you in a cave
lost and wandering,
I fetched stars from the sky
to light your way.
You were juggling the past
and the present,
you were recycling your dreams.
I peeled away the layers of yesterday,
and soaked your scars in the moonlight.
I asked you to see your reflection
in the ocean,
find your way,
illuminate your soul.
Trust that this is your journey to travel,
believe that you are meant to live,
to love,
to be right here in this moment.

Thank you, Pamela. :)
DeleteI love the first four lines.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteSo many strong images to enjoy here - it's impossible to pick a favourite.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think that a little work with the editor's red pen might strengthen an already good poem.
Like Brian, my wife found me in a metaphorical cave and took the time to coax me out... I can never thank her enough for that.
I'm glad she was there to light the way :)

Now to comment: Have not most of us--who've truly loved--
