A voice has been whispering
These past few days.
A line from a poem
Like a long forgotten dream.
I know this!
As I hear the line
Repeat on loop
Inside my head.
I have lived this, breathed this
Embodied this.
It is imprinted on my soul.
Now being re-remembered.
Arising like the Phoenix
From the ashes.
My soul awakening
To the spirit of adventure
Sensing the world that awaits.
Emerging from that ‘out of the
Way places of the heart.
Where my thoughts never
Thought to wander’.
But as I go there
I recognise the familiar tread
And when I reach that place
Behind my heart
There is is!
That something very special
That has been quietly forming.
I reach out
And hold it tenderly,
In my hands.
Like a silver Pearl of light,
My New Beginning
That has been ever so
Quietly forming
In the out of the way places,
At the back of my heart.
With deep gratitude to John O’Donnohue and his poem ‘For a New Beginning’
