when I was ten
the stars were my friends
and grapevine grew wild
to pass me between -
places of longing
and wonders unseen
by the eyes
of surrender -
a ways
down the road
nights
unforgotten
the dreamer I was -
left out the door
without thought for goodbye
or reminders
of home
I’d come needing
to find -
paths cleared away
by the wind
was destiny
left in a note by the gate
or carved to a tangle
of wood -
how quiet the house
a lone empty bed -
and chill burned away
by a wanting
left go
might they wonder
how far
I’d been taken away -
or wait me a season of still
unnoticed retreat
to a life just begun -
my wing’ed old soul
forgetting again
to wander the way back
to less
. . .
`wonders unseen by the eyes of surrender`
Beautiful expression.
Thank you, Martyn. It’s good to know that someone else finds the meaning in those lines. Truly, thank you. ~ Much love, Bobbie
“was destiny left in a note by the gate”
Rings with memories of freedom to me, Bobbie. Reminds me of when I left the farm, family, and all to be on my own.
