THROUGH A NEW LENS

I Love You

Perhaps we all need to look through a new lens. We need to be aware that wonderful days are balanced by not so wonderful days.

There are days we get answers

to questions we did not ask

answers we did not want to hear

Some days we feel far away

surreal, like we are watching

expectations let us down.

In a vision we wander

barefoot

over snowy ground

through fields and woods

searching for a place

to lie down, to bury

everything no one understands

to feel nothing, to want nothing

more than to be lost for a time

Come

Sit with me

I will hold your hand
