The Mirror of Your Soul
In the everlasting heartbeat of life
there and even deeper
we are one, indivisible,
inseparable
Standing on my shore
gazing out over my surface
you see into the mirror
of your own soul
You are so weary of the storms
that have torn through your life
so let my tides carry you
to the deepest depths
of your existence
Until you remember once more
that you and I are one
for you yourself are the ocean
and I, your eternal Mother.

So very moving, Emma. As you so powerfully express it here, we all of us are both the one who is reflected and the reflection itself. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy dearest Emma, your words, your beautiful words, astound me and take me away into the sea. So deep into the ocean that perhaps there may be no return ever. Truly a place I have been before and a place I will be again. Eternal Mother's tides will guide me home and bring me the peace that I have yet to experience in this life on Earth. She will take hand, take my heart and take my soul to where I will rememer we are inseparable......we are one. Thank you for such beauty in your poem Emma and this photograph I had the honor to take of you will remain a part of what I remember and will always hold dear to my soul.
