On the edge of forever

The journey has been long…
and arduous.
A self-inflicted hell
created from doubt…
and despair.
A creation so terrifying
and so demoralizing
that I shudder
at my own reflection.

Why did I choose this
particular path?
Why did I strap on
the vestiges of
this insanity?

I know the Light is there.
I see Its Presence
in the corner
of my eye.
I sense Its fullness
at the center of who
I call “me”.
I taste Its sweetness
in the aftermath
of a cool drink.

Perhaps…
Just perhaps…
I could choose again.
And…
In this realization…
I know
I am Whole.


This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

jc, this is so profound. i know exactly where you are coming from with this one nd you say it so well. I loved every line of every stanza but the ending was outstanding with this .....


Perhaps…
Just perhaps…
I could choose again.
And…
In this realization…
I know
I am Whole.

Thanks, June...

Yeah...you'd think we'd just figure it all out without having to go through the first part...huh?  

I'm glad you liked it and wish like heck you had absolutely no idea what I was saying!

Love and Light...jc

And perhaps...it was all designed...so these beautiful words could be born.

And someone else would read them.


And know...they are not alone.


Love,
Eric

This is such a wonderful poem, jaicie. You've put so much emotion into it. We keep  learning everyday, searching for all the answers, don't we?
Beautiful!

Those who love deeply Never grow old;
They may die of old age,But they die young.

Thank you, Laicie!

Yes...the search does seem endless...'course, I think I'm ready for a little fun adventure rather than all the angst and stuff!  

Thank you for your comments!

Love and Light...jc

Thank you, Joyce...

Yes...been getting a lot of "lessons" this year. You'd think we would always choose the easy route...but, alas!  You just gotta keep the faith, though!

(smiles) Oh Jaicie, this is so very true, sweet friend, I believe in understanding the next part we have to feel the heartache and truth in the first part as that is how compassion is rewarded! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jaicie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
