190: My Soul Knew

Written from my heart
you languished in darkness
put away for safe keeping
where you became invisible.

The tangible sweetness
of rediscovery takes me back
and connects me to my past.

My hands tremble
holding the poetry of my soul
recognition that I existed then
as I am now is a revelation.

I delight in finding myself
alive in my past
I was there, but I too languished
invisible in darkness.

Only rarely did my soul sing
loudly enough to be heard in this world
from that distant place
where I put myself away for safe keeping.
