when you believe: or that’s what you call confusion


when you believe: or that’s what you call confusion
by jennifer kiley

abstract jacaranda tree

you disappeared from my vision,
but my mine’s eye collected your image.
it is locked away for a day
when reality meets it’s reflection.

are you my truth?
are you meant to guide me?
to the purpose? to the meaning?
that one day follows another.
and time continues until time changes,
and what was is never more.

transitioning into a white
cloud of existence
beyond truth.

the pain of missing you
will be gone.
our essence will blend.

touching a space
of our being
that has lost
it’s physical form.

together for eternity.
always and forever.

this is imagination
and what might be
after i am gone.

but now you are watching.
your arms wrap around my soul.
you protect me from harm,
even from myself.

you listen when all feels lost.
you bring me around again,
to reveal to me.
what is truly there.
where there is love.

those i felt i lost,
were just hidden
from my site.
my blindness can be real.
a small thing can explode.

feelings are not predictable.
they change with each breath,
each heart beat we feel,
will stop the love i feel
from being real.
and all with be gone.

i need to believe in you.
to believe in the truth.
when love is hard to see,
believe in its invisibility.
it is there and waiting.

    This is a beautiful poem, Jennifer…we must all have something in which to believe. The best thing to believe in is the light that is within you, that is transcendent, eternal, can never be extinguished, no matter how black the tunnel becomes, no matter how hard the demons try to kill it. They never can. Believe in that. Retreat into your brilliant, ineffable sweetness. Nothing can harm you there.

    i want to give love and to feel it. the darkness blocks out the spirits around me. it traps me and the demons come to torture my soul. i sometimes forget that i can fight them now and win. with reminders that i am not alone, i find the strength within to shatter the darkness and to let the light in. you remind me there is hope inside of me and love that surrounds me. your encouragement is so beneficial for my spirit. it helps it to soar high above the darkness and i am able to feel the love and feel the warmth and brilliance of the light. you are my blessing.
