The Encounter

Who saw you see eyes watched
Smiling at me
Lips curled you smirked following I grinned
And I believe that was the beginning of something...
Special

Conversations flowed you did say musically lyrically
Listening intently fluttering around every word
Butterflying I followed you and allowed you
To enter my world

Introducing you to me and me to you
We convened connectively
Naturally it seemed
Feathery we embraced
Softly finger tips rest gracefully
Shyly you met me

I feel you...

Heaviness falls down as I ponder on regret

The could of’s and should of’s

And if only I did it differently

I should of known better

Was that really me?

Salt tears gather on the corners of my mouth

The bitter sweetness I hate

I can’t help but feel that I deserve it all

I cry drowning in pools of guilt

I sink under blankets of condemnation

Conviction tightens like a rope

Sobs shout ‘whats taking you so long’

To open my eyes and realize

Analyse

Pause for a second and see through Gods eyes

The damage soul forgotten feeling unloved

I cried

Uncontrollable  

Pressed with feelings of sadness that is not my own

I feel your pain and explode

I sense your lost and drown

I walk in your shoes for just a brief moment

And I become flaccid like flowers blighted in the sun

Oh how I love you

What have I done

I cried some more clutching its transformation

Desolation into hope into restoration

Optimism, anticipation, faith

I believe

You are the God who restores

You’ve made me believe

Made me feel once again

Helped me see through Your eyes

I clobbered me with your compassion

It is time to write...

I have just falling in love with a poem called 'write' by Sumi Mathai. It is an anthem that every writer should hold up high like a banner - sun-kissed and embraced by the wind. It caused me to pause and reflect - enjoy, breathe, refocus - on the brief moment of inspiration. Thank you Sumi Mathai.
