Poetry list
the path
increasingly I
hear a longing
call colouring
the familiar
making a new
path strange
and seemingly
leading nowhere
a nowhere real
in the moment
where senses
resonate with
futility but not
despair a mystery
of transformation
in a world no
longer mapped with
the signposts and
milestones of the
journey so far
the call and
longing come
from the silence
of my now voiceless
love who speaks
from and into
my nowhere and
who I now seek
to meet in the
void and future
we call hope
and promises
who knew that
pain and blessing
have to be one
and this path
has always been
here and it is
the path of love
that is the pain
and the blessing
