It was I who started the fire.
I admit, I was careless when
I decided to plant these seeds.
Yes, I could have been more thoughtful.
I wasn’t paying attention.
I didn’t realize that they would,
Strangle out the warm sun.
Yes, I could have planned better.
So I burned my garden down.
It wasn’t easy to do and in fact,
It was hard to see it all go.
Yes, I should have known better by now.
What a blaze that roared!
It was so big and out of control,
Burning up everything around.
Yes, I could have been more careful.
The sky was hazy with ash.
I couldn’t see or hear a thing and
Neither could anyone else.
Yes, I was sad and ashamed.
But the skies are clearing!
I can see the shining sun and
I can hear the birds singing.
Yes, I’ll find my way again.
Oh, the lessons learned!
The soil is fertile once more and
I will be a better gardener.
Yes, we reap what we sow.
My dearest wanderer,
Your words are your spirit and I can see that you are freer now. I’m excited to meet this you, to hold this you closest to my own vulnerable heart. I love you and I need you like you need me. I will see you again.
I look forward to connecting with you again soon! <3
