A Sonnet of Remembrance

As vivid images penetrate me,
I’m aware of an ache in my heart
from mourning a lost opportunity;
then that ache transforms to poetic art.

The waves of remembrance flooding my mind
take me back to an era long past;
those memories wakened, I now rewind
in the hope that they will forever last.

As overwhelming emotions arise,
they alert the Wise Woman inside
to tell me again how the ego dies
so that clear-eyed vision can steer my ride.

It is not for us to question our path….
Trust that love is there in the aftermath.
