Believe (poem)

Believe

Starting to believe again

Coming in so slowly

Realizing eyes wide open

Accepting of it wholly

Twisted up in thinking

And someone else’s thought

Left reeling in a world

Where I had forgot

To Believe.......

I forgot the world was good

That truth was a thing

Honesty in high regard

Someone could you bring

Where the heart was sacred

And treated with respect

Not to be cast aside

Bleeding broken wrecked

Sensitivity a hallowed hall

Tenderness a home

Free soul land to tend to

Wilderness to roam

Now don’t let me sway you

I know that things go wrong

All the time and so much so

We know it all along

That this ain’t always easy

Nope it’s just not so

So much learning work involved

Loves not an easy go

But sometimes......

And if you’re lucky

Lots of sometimes.....

You meet a heart that matches

Not a perfect fit of course

Say, two hearts

Attached by patches

Scrappy bits of old cloth

And little bits of new

Stitched up all criss crossed

Looks like one.....it’s two

Because of imperfections

Sewn up all together

Hearts that smush up face to face

Make life a little better

Spun together long ago

Your soul knew my soul

Touching in so many times

But always letting go

But now.....

With consciousness and honesty

We get to start anew

Saying what is in the mind

Accepting it with you

And so we travel down the path

Hand in hand we weave

Glad that you are here with me

Cause you helped me to

Believe
