My Star, My Sun, My Darkness

I sought a hot and blazing sun, a star to light my dimming sky a heavenly form; though earthly bound to warm my heart, before I die I sought a power, a pull so strong an inescapable gravitation one that'd own my weakened heart and safely guide my navigation I sought a grand, magnetic pole; an axis which I'd turn about a bearing, constant and sustaining, a truth of which I'd have no doubt I sought this sun, this wondrous star this beacon for my life and fate to lead my journey near and far my guiding light; my one true mate I lost my bearings and my way in seeking such a destiny the journey took my heart afar from where I knew that it should be I found a dark and empty place one that lived in mine own soul; a place that only I could fill a void that'd kept me far from whole I seek the light now, from within an illumination that's granted me courage that flows from grace and good to walk a path alone, but free

"I found a dark and empty place one that lived in mine own soul; a place that only I could fill a void that'd kept me far from whole" This verse gave me goosebumps- it is so good. That particular stanza was so beautifully sad... the following stanza shines a light upon the shadowed soul... Exceptional poem! It was very touching to me...keep your patience and endure! You are a wonderful writer! Always, Laura

Oh David...I do hope that you don't walk that path alone for long. Though this is a triumphant write on self resiliency...there is such comfort in the love of a mate...Lovely write.
