LIFE Poem: My Poem, by Jacqueline Wallace

Winding pathways of the mind,
Locked doors deep within the labyrinth,
Memories locked away,
Time stands still behind those doors,
Tears yet to be shed,
Lies still to see the light of day,
Shattered altars, voices of a broken mind,
Lost innocence along the way.

Look within cast light onto the shadows,
Bring comfort to forgotten places,
Open doors long sealed,
Gather up the pictures,
Acknowledge hidden wounds,
Shepherd tend to your flock,
Turn the key set loose the lock,
Remove this painful block.

Stand now weather the gathering storm,
Draw strength from painful truth,
No longer aloof,
Fallen yet uplifted,
Like broken angels,
Fly on mended wings,
Towards the light,
Endless is the night,
Restored to bear witness,
True Sight.
