I long for understanding
of that which I cannot see.
Will time reveal the whole picture,
of which I only see a small piece?
I pushed upon the door,
hopeful that the reason the last one didn't open
is because this one was supposed to.
It opened a crack,
giving me a glimpse of what lay ahead;
only to slam shut again.
I choose to trust in the future unknown—
even when I do not understand.
of that which I cannot see.

Truth is guarded
Through the waters of self reflection
And at the great gates of light
Our living library awaits.
Darkness cannot exist within pure light
And so we are banished unto our own demons
Our great work is to heal, forgive, and remember
Who we are.
So that we may Re-Member our souls
No one will tell you, no one is looking
Every one is eating, while no one is cooking
All eyes are open, All minds are closed
We may never understand, what we already claim to know
Aho

Dear E,
The frustration and disappointment can be felt in this poem and trying to make sense of why something that was wanted and felt so right didn’t happen. One if life’s greatest mysteries. I can really appreciate your point of view in this poem and hope you receive the benefits of a professional dream come true. H🌷
