He said, “Come with me.”
And I went there,
Again.
Did I have to?
Did I want to?
There were no answers
There are no answers
It was a secret
Not to be shared.

I am a spirit on a human journey
In the endless labyrinth of time
Pursuing life, the ultimate puzzle
A circle in space. The dance of life
Whose music leads me on.

Forgiveness is freedom
My hand is old
As are the memories
Of the child forever young.
My secret self,
I wept for her.
Forgiveness is peace
I am whole
