Love You: Lost, Found & Reclaimed

 

When voice found me it released words through my lips, we were both startled at the unfamiliarity.. 

I formed clear thoughts, ideas and expressions but they spewed out clumsily like baby-talk and banter..

But my thoughts kept at it and my words were not shackled by silence....

In time my thoughts, feelings & words were so devoted they fell into a magical rhythm...

Where my living loving and giving were most vividly reflected in how I connected with the world...

Sometimes that world is fast, rash & harsh  

To protect my bruised self I withdraw often...

Words are the first to dissolve to thin air; then my thoughts feelings held captive in a thick mist...

My spirit wanes and I forget my name & the powerful way through love & support I came to be..

Before I truly perish in the tyranny of my silence, a spark within urges me to look up to see the mist clearing...

I start to see shapes & forms once again, blinking I try to locate my lost dreams & desires once more... 

They lay safe waiting on my reclamation because truly no one can take what was mine to begin with...

I clear my throat and start to speak because there are many words screaming to be let free...

I shout out to manifest this new found freedom & seek, to see and name myself once more...

I am Alive 

I am Here

And,

I am Enough
