Embrace with love

If I'm not allowed to fall, 
I can't learn to walk
Through peace with falling, 
I rise again in strong faith
When I climb a mountain, 
I see its lowest point
By peace with the lowest points,
all fears dissipate

Even while traveling, 
I long to stand still
Thanks to such stops, 
the journey feels more intense
Deep below my strength 
I sense there is softness
Thanks to that softness, 
much stronger I am

Do I choose to shine,
it illuminates what seems dark,
not remembered and 
overlong unseen, 
When I embrace with love, 
everything that once fell 
returns to a state 
of purity

And just as I stand still, 
I long to travel
Thanks to the traveling, 
my path unfolds before me
Narrow but passable, 
enlightened by love, 
so if I do fall again?
Then I can only fall…

very softly

So, so true. "Even while traveling, I long to stand still". I loved this line. This is poetry. Taking time to pause on our journey, perhaps glancing over our shoulder to see how far we have come. This poem left me in tears. Thank you.

Your poem is a lovely journey through a person's maturity. I like the message of faith that it imparts.
