POEM

What Do You Unlock for Me?

This is the key I don’t want to lose.

I don’t remember where I found you You always appear when I’m not looking

I recognize your shape and texture When I hold you in my hand, you belong there

Do you unlock the places I have been too scared to open Do I still have secrets left to share

Do you unlock my future or my past mistakes I think I found the door to which you belong

My hand trembles as I fit you in precisely I turn you slowly with patterned pauses

As I gently push inside, I am met with warmth and light My vision is taken but left with a caress around my eyes

I am embraced and held closer than I knew I needed My breathing slows as my body releases

I bid goodbye to nagging worries on my exhale My lungs fill with hope expanding, and my spirit renewed

My sight is returning as the lights dim I reach for the door to find my way back

I gently slip the key’s chain around my neck It safely dangles close to my heart

The key pulses in rhythm with each beat on cue If ever I lose you, I don’t need sight to find you

You alone open all doors in my path Your immeasurable imprint left within me

I will reach for you in every step I take My deep-rooted Key of Faith

Please enjoy one of my recent, very personal articles.
