The Mystery
I seek my history
to find what’s left of me,
to find the reason
for my silence, or-
to recapture my voice.
A sprinkling,
a smattering of
my poetic point-of-view
spread over more than 10 years
has become more
accessible.
As I peruse
for clues
to rekindle
that which is me,
that we might see
whom He empowered
me to be
I find many aspects
spanning the evidence.
Might I narrow
the focus well enough
to understand
if His command
has truly been within
the lines of my
progression.
With prayer,
concentration, faith,
I may be able to set aside
my consternation as I seek
the truth. Might you join the plea?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Dear Virginia, so glad to see you writing and with such deep meaning and heart touching expressions.

The mystery will always have its role in our lives, no doubt, but if we have even only once experienced the feeling of being One with the Source, we will always be able to rekindle that awareness and find our way back to who we really are. We are children of eternity and we all have a special mission on this Earth, even if we might not always recognize it.

I much enjoyed your poem, it made me think too. Thank you.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks, so much, Margherita! The system didn't alert me to your reply, so I'm glad I checked in. I have a new email and I let it know the only way I could think to do so. I also contacted Balladeer, but haven't heard back yet.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
