the souls reflection

I reached inside
my soul today,
it was cold and dark
and i lost my way
The dust
and cob webs
fazed me not
for I knew my mission
and what
I sought,
I crept thru memories
some painful
and raw
and had to compose
myself
with the things
that I saw

Each memory playing
like a fairy tale dream
some harsh
and some cold
others warm
and serene.

I lay down
in the meadow
the earth as my bed
I try to make sense
of the life
that
i've led
As I lie there
reflecting
on my heart
and my soul
I find myself
ready
to forgive
my past
and embrace
the unknown.
