Margie Bernard Poet Bio

The Journey

The Journey 
I took a journey through the shadows of my mind 
Knowing there is a child I must find. 
In the shadows I see a child all alone and crying 
I whisper softly be patient little one I am trying. 

I share with you the knowledge of your pain 
Your secrets I have held but not in vain. 
You were my strength as I was yours 
And together we closed many doors. 

I locked away the things I could not face 
Then dried my eyes so there was not a tear to trace. 
Secrets locked away in solitude 
Praying the memories would no longer intrude. 

I learned to laugh at all the sorrow 
And put life on hold until tomorrow. 
My child within got left behind, 
Locked safely away in the shadows of my mind. 

So now I must go back in time 
To embrace the child I left behind. 
One day we must become one to be freed 
To continue our journey wherever it may lead.

Darren White March 7, 2017 at 2:47 AM I have written a very emotional and painful series about my own life yeasterday and the day before, this reminds me of it. So painful sometimes, isn't it? Yet you managed to write beautiful poetry here. Margie Bernard March 7, 2017 at 6:22 PM it is painful I wrote this years ago when I was in therapy and it took me several years before I could write Angel Wings to complete my journey. Sometimes when a person splits and separates the painful experiences in life it is to take back yourself. I hope you can take your experiences and turn them into a beautiful and empowering experience.
