My Journey to You
Poetry
April 21, 2022
Her soul burns deeply, shining bright like all the setting suns
Her fire once uncontained, scared the lands high to the mountain
Just a breath away from God
She seemed like an eagle, so daring and free
Like a storm, she came abruptly into my life
Excitement she breathed in me, danger she touched on me
Her love was like a bruise, every mark upon my skin her story remains
Like a storm she came, but of course, she never stayed
In her wake only destruction remained, stability she took with her
Now all I have is our bittersweet memories
All sorrowful woes and my heartache continues to grow
But throughout the debris of broken promises and forgotten dreams
Buried under her dying love for me, laid a sapling so precious and small
A new life looking to me with so much wonder and undying pure love
Our story I wasn’t ready to continue without her signature touch
But this journey with you, my adorable doves
Is the greatest gift your mother gave to me from above
