The Message

On By Alexis RoseIn Blog, poetry

Meandering through
the crystallized mountains
my spirit awakens
with the message
of those who lived long ago
yet still, walk among us

They spoke to me of
kindness, respect
and the resolve to
stay steadfast
in hope and optimism

They showed me the
ability to ride
the tiger to battle
and to surf the waves
of emotions

I tasted the
tears of fear
of loss, of joy

I felt moments
that seemed unbearable
yet, still remained perfect

Hearing the laughter
Tasting the sweet kiss
Smelling the land
Touching the stars
Seeing the sun-rise
and set

Knowing
every day
every night
the times I fail
or falter
or act in the most human of ways
if I keep my heart open
and listen
the message remains the same

  19. Alexis Rose, you put into words for me, so beautifully, the experience of living with constant fear since my son disappeared, yet every day loving life, loving my family, and wanting to do my best with the time given to me. This poem moved me to tears today and was, it would seem, exactly what my heart needed to hear. Thank you. ♥.
