Shards of my soul ...
Left behind
in the dark woods
and forests,
where wildflowers
line the paths,
where the dappled sunlight
falls through thick trees,
where the leaves
whisper in the breeze ...
Shards of my soul ...
left behind
in the majestic blue mountains
and the valleys that lie
in the shadows of the
drifting clouds ...
On the sandy beaches kissed
by an aquamarine sea ...
Shards of my soul ...
left behind
in the beautiful places
I have seen.
The shards lie dormant
until a flicker,
just a tiny flicker
of light awakens them,
and they glow and shine
travelling miles
to light up my memories,
memories of
those lovely places
filling me with
wondrous happiness.
Pieces of my soul, lost,
but the shards left behind
shine, bright and beautiful
connecting my soul forever ...
