Whispering Spirit

Whispering spirit laughs with me

To lift my sagging self up

 

Caused me to look in the mirror

To see me through your love eyes

 

All I can see is past carved there

Without you to reflect me

 

I don’t see me with truths love eyes

You showed me my real beauty

 

I owe my love of life to you

You saw me when I could not

 

I saw only a distortion

When you saw a bright light shine

 

Thank you lover who haunts my soul

I owe everything to you

 

I can close my eyes and feel you

In silence hear your light

 

I miss you reflecting my light

Now I must learn to see me

 

I practice how to see me right

By your love eyes reflecting

 

I owe you everything lover

I’ll carry on without you

 

Lighter still while heavy hearted

To honor you I’ll see me

Author's Note

This poem spilled out of me today when Synchronicity came a calling. "Pain never makes me cry, but happiness does."

i like the back and forth in this...because in the end, although we often profess to need love from others...it is loving our self that is most important...to be able to stand in front of that mirror by ourselves and like what we see...not needing that support, although wanting it and enjoying it.

again a really strong piece of writing that shows that inner battle to attain self-worth...

you write like plath...as she would say "readers want to know it from someone who has been there"

you have and readers can benefit from your words.

My simple words are not sufficient to describe just how meaningful your review is to me in this very moment. The synchronicity of your review is extraordinarily profound to me, in the very moment I am doubting my ability to write and the worth of what I have to say, I receive the beep to signify an incoming email. Your review is like medicine to my spirit and healing balm to my soul.
Thank You

thats f*&^cking beautiful.. i shed a tear at the end. My husband awakened a lovliness within me, that I myself, would never have seen before.. Awesome work!

[Veronica Chandler]

I am so honored! It means so much coming from someone who knows what it is like not to see what our lover sees until we learn to see ourselves reflected in them. Thank you ever so much!

[revalatia]

An endearing ode if I ever heard one... beautifully done
Veronica. :)

[Veronica Chandler]

Thank you so much Dream Weaver; this piece is a bit of a spring cleaning for me and also little bit of a sprucing up of my soul if you will. It is that time of year after all.
