Life has taken me away from me,
A drifting ship, adrift at sea.
The winds of change, so fierce, so wild,
Have swept me far from the heart of the child.
I once knew the pulse, the steady beat,
The rhythm of life beneath my feet.
But now, I wander without a map,
Caught in the maze, the endless trap.
The days slip by, like shifting sand,
I search for the pieces I once had planned.
My soul, once anchored, now drifts free,
Untethered, lost, where I cannot see.
I chase reflections, shadows of old,
The whispers of dreams that once were bold.
But every step seems out of tune,
Like walking beneath a silver moon.
Oh, how I long to return again,
To find the road, to know the when,
To stand in the place where I was whole,
And reclaim the fragments of my soul.
Yet in the distance, soft and bright,
A flicker calls, a distant light.
Maybe it’s me, calling me home,
Back to myself, where I once had grown.
For though life takes, it also gives,
And through the storm, I still can live.
The journey’s long, the path unknown,
But somewhere within, I’ll find my own.
Thank-you for reading.
Much Love and Light,
Brenda Marie
