I Found You Here – POETRY CHURCH

And as I wondered what fears
I was about to face
When I peered over the ledge
Of my own dark and troubled heart
And leaned over to look inside
I heard a quiet voice speak these words

“Do not be afraid,
Whatever you find here
Is only a mirror with which
To see yourself more clearly”

After an awkward moment of silence
I ventured my reply

“Well,
I found YOU here…”

And though no further words were spoken
I am sure that I heard
A mischievous wink
And the crack of a playful smile
