After "Holding On To You"

After "Holding On To You"

A Poem by herfss
"

It takes time to figure out what you are looking for.

"
all this time I thought
that You had to be a person
someone that I needed to find

I've spent a lot of time on this journey,
voyage,
shipwrecked

I have also found joy and happiness
couldn't be more grateful for the existence of
the human race

but that one night
reading those few lines
on a screen that wasn't enough bright
I saw that You can be something else other than
a person

something that you can hold on to
not an human being
not an animal
not a plant
not a cloud
not a tear
not a heart or brain
not a body
not them

if you look inside
and outside
one thing at a time

very deep
there is
a tiny spark

this spark has a lot of colours
you choose the one you like most
(I know it's hard but try to choose)

my eyes were wide open and awake
when I realised that You could be something different
that You could be Hope, and Purpose

and you can hold on to them
