Dear Self

Dear Self,

You a whispering light.

Hidden and overcoming by the layering velvet moans of the world.

I may not know where you are then-

But now you are here.

You soul, in these words.

The powerful light that cares about everything and everyone-

One cannot keep a wave upon the sand,

Nor a cloud still in the sky...

Though we can capture a memory in ink, in paper, in letters of poetry.

I, myself, by now might just be a memory to you.  

Where you in the future could be places I never imagined today

Dreams lost and forgotten

Old wounds sewn shut

New lenses to prosper through

I may not know who you will become

And you may not know who I was

But we have the same every glowing solace moonlight of a heart

A kissing beating lamb of a soul

Ancient anxiety scriptures of a mind

And the beautiful birth marked bird of a body

And you may not remember me

But I dream of you

And I say…

Be strong

You are beauty

Be proud

You are laughter

Be faith

You are raw emotion

Be you

Because I believe in you

With Love; forever more,

yourself
