Echoes of Spirit

(POEM)

How did I come this far?

I put on so many masks that I’ve forgotten my own face.

The true skins of my own beauty have shed the inner being of light, and the only thing that’s left

Is the inside. I have shelled for far too long to remember how to be open to its spirit.

The depths of wisdom that embraces me, how did I get so far in forsaking them?

Forgetting that we are all connected, I fear losing that feeling

The one I got on my drive home with mama spirit telling me there, there it will all be alright.

I felt its energy alone in my room warming me with its embrace

I don’t want to be a part of anything else,

The love I felt meant more than words alone or any sense of affection.

A lover from a passerby, strangers kiss, skin upon mine, and I embraced it in its holiness,

and I felt loved again.

I’m so afraid to forget what truly matters and what never did.

To conform in society, I fear losing my sanity in that.

Please tell me God if I am on the right road or if there is one?

Am I traveling this one alone or is it taking me on a spiritual journey of awakening.

Cause I’ve been lost for far too long to remember what’s been going wrong.

I could now feel the wind on my skin; piercing me, it was the breeze that half touched my face,

Reminding me that it’s okay to feel again.

The smile of warmth, almost like a day playing in the sun has brought me back its color.

The love I felt was none other than a higher source that I had forsaken.

I felt like I could breathe again.

I had suffocated myself for far too long that I forgotten how to leave the past behind me.

I felt a sense of enlightenment, I feel like I can trust again.

I don’t know what this higher source energy is, I just know I want to stay connected to it.

The one I had been taking from had sunk me down, and I’m not

Ready to drown in the abyss of nothingness.

Life doesn’t want you to forget its sorrows but to appreciate them in its beauty.

But I’m still afraid, afraid like a memory that has been lost in mind that I’ll soon forget this feeling.

Forget the beauty in the unknown, how do I remember not to forget ?

Expressing myself honestly to anyone that will listen.

Working in tune to its intuition, please guide me.

Don’t let me forget because I’m tired of being afraid, what am I afraid of? what do I fear?

I fear losing you again, I fear losing myself.

Please don’t let me forget who I am or what I am meant to do.

I choose to serve you.
