So, I’m currently taking a writing workshop that started almost a week ago; the feedback I received from my first piece shared in said workshop is what inspired today’s poem.
Restorative (for J)
As I swim deeply in the memories
of summer nights so many years gone by,
descriptions of the love I felt back then
refuse to be put into written words.
I see now that the sacredness we felt
between us, never wanted to be shared.
Yet in the trying, nonetheless I found,
that sacred place within my heart, still lives.
And drawing from that place, a renewed strength;
Restored, invigorated, and revived.
Resurfaced with the knowledge that so loved,
my heart is safe to open once again.
