Nevermore

I'm not usually lonely,

I love my own company

Part of me lately,

Longs for another soul

People to share the joy

Of a soul who came out of the wreckage

I listen to my heart

It oft leads me in another direction

Back into solitude

It is a lovely place,

A bond between the Earth and I

Watching the glistening rain drops

Catch on the leaves of the trees

I wonder as I wander on these roads

Heart full of introspection and desire

In love with my company again

Yet longing for it to be shared

Such joy and peace,

So much to give

Looking for the souls

Needing another reason to live

Lightly my footsteps tread

On the sacred burial ground of my past

Crying out of gratitude for finding

A way to use the fire as fuel

Instead of becoming consumed

Ascending to something beautiful

No longer at a crossroads

Traveling with wonder in my eyes

A spark in my heart

I have found my true potential

Revealed and reveled in my inner nature

Beauty in self-love,

Beauty in full capacity

Always bursting for a soul to love

Opening my arms wide,

As the raindrops come

Embracing all of life

Unafraid, not afraid

Nevermore
