Reflections

I feel like I've been lacking in creative inspiration
My mind and heart avoiding one another
My pen and fingers silenced by fear
Fear of what my heart and mind might say
Were they to meet

Right now I am drifting on a raft of separation
Holding my breath and trying not to make too many ripples
In the lives of others or myself
Not asking for anything, but wishing I could
Yearning to matter

I miss the comfort and sense of love that come
From living with a family
People to care for, to protect and cherish
A constant and continuous union of love and joy
Where all feel needed

Where the past and present meet is a rich sum
Of beauty and faith, light and joy
Where loss turns to growth and we continue to progress
Moving forward along a path
Known to all and yet none

Crisis and victory often shape my existence
As I walk a path unknown
Sometimes lonely and disappointed
Trying to be detached and to trust that if I put my faith in God
All will become clear eventually

Everyday I pray for Divine assistance
To let go of my sorrows and limitations
And I take comfort in the fact that as I struggle and learn
I draw closer to Him
And mature into the person He created me to be
