Maybe your life,
Is all about
Finding a place
Within you,
That is truly yours,
To hold on to.

A beautiful spot,
Perhaps at the core
Of your being,
An ethereal space,
Obscured by others
That surround it;
And yet, almost sacred,
In its essence.

It holds the key
To your being,
Although it stays
Firmly locked,
Until it’s unlocked,
After you’ve fulfilled
Your arduous quest
To discover it.

And in its discovery,
You’ve actually
Found yourself,
In all your glory –
Beneath the layers
Of ignominy,
That you’ve gathered
Over the years.

You’ve found this space,
Staring you in your face,
Saying,
“I’ve been here all along,
When you thought
You had no song
Left in your heart;
I was right here,
For I am yours,
Forever and ever.
Nobody can part us –
Not your biggest fears,
Not your unseen tears,
I’ve always been here,
For you to come back to,
Again and again,
In joy and in pain;
For I am you,
And we are perfect
For each other,
As imperfect as we are,
Me and you.”
