thousand memories
launched on the ocean of your heart
launched on the ocean of your heart
you sense them sail,
etching on the surface, causing ripples
etching on the surface, causing ripples
with no prediction
in which direction they will lead
in which direction they will lead
all you know
there might be pain and sorrow uncovered
there might be pain and sorrow uncovered
for the night
can bring light to your past
can bring light to your past
but in the end
there will be acceptance of all things
there will be acceptance of all things
and undeniable comfort
of the way you feel your own skin
of the way you feel your own skin
Good advice. Very good advice.

Yes, I think we must accept all things. Love this poem's tenderness and the last line is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like the contradiction "for the night/can bring light to your past" it works so well in the poem that I missed on the first read.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Ensure you are a person who is comfortable with being yourself . It is probably the most important thing in life apart from food and drink for well being. !
