Disclosure

 

You entered my life

when I thought all was lost

and prompted renewal of trust.

 

I was resigned to forever reside in the dark

but you pulled the curtain

and revealed the sun still shines.




My muses burst with innovation

for a new joy I’d found in living.

The window had finally opened

since the door closed.

 

And you will never know

because of you I understand

death is not the same thing as

the end of birth.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

This is very beautiful Judy.

This is very beautiful Judy. One never knows where one will find inspiration. The trick is to know it when we see it, even in the most unlikely of places and people. Your words tell the story well. Sue
