spirit

lost spirit,
part
of my ancient heart
what
can I give you?

dear one,
hold close in your arms
for me
the joy
of your eyes
first opening

the sun's whisper
lifting the grass
each morning

this is
what I need


lost spirit
ribbon of snow
drifting
past
stones and shadow
how
will I find you?

dear one,
hold close in your arms
for me
the melody
that makes a deer leap
in spring

the song you sing
when love is
the only language

the weightless light
that floats you
through the sky

and when your arms
can reach no more
and you see
with your own heart
blindly

then
you will surely find me

There is something very frightening about this I think. Can only find where there is nothing left and it matters no more.
fear in my heart, strange and gentle

Echo--your comment is very interesting--
I meant this poem to be a reassurance against fear--that if we gather all the beauty and joy we can find in life, to the point where we are seeing with our heart only--then we can be complete and without fear...

If this did not communicate, then I may have to revisit the poem!
(I take full responsibility!)

I truly appreciate your comment, thanks!

(No need to cover your eyes, little bear...)
