I am here.
my mind wrapped in gossamer
filmy and foggy
firmly sure
desperately unsure
the keeper of secrets
no longer remembered
a shell
made of the finest
Abalone
mother-of-pearl
nacre

I am here
a matron
on a maiden voyage
of alarming confusion
waters uncharted
demanding
to be traversed
keeping all safe

I am here
though no longer
in spirit
rather
a weather-worn body
seeking a lonely port
where spirit rests
body heals
and mind remembers
that whatever the die casts
I know
I am here

I didn't just love and lose, I lost BIG time. It depresses me so.

seraphin,
This is so deep and heartfelt it makes me want to give you a hug and let you pour your heart out over a cup of coffee, then give you a bucket of chocolate and a bottle of wine. ~L

Brilliant! I am glad you are here and that you shared this loveliness. We all are waiting on our spirit but uncertain it will return. I like to think it will. I love this.

You are definitely here, and so is your spirit. It's all flowing out in this lovely poem.
