A Gentle Reminder

From Her Eyes (Part 1)

By Lakena McQueenPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

When I think of you I find comfort in the warmth of my rage—

and joy too

It is the reason I have peace Why I enjoy the quite and dark days

Even amidst the might of a storm The storm remains the lesser thing

And though enduring this rage has left me broken, there will be a day when this brokenness finds you

And I pray it finds you well

The Response His Perspective (Part 2)

When I first saw you Your eyes reflected an innocence Only gardens like Eden could bear.

But I was unworthy—

and touching you turned the light to a darkness that overwhelmed the soul.

Should forgiveness be lost to me, if grief and memory stalk the life of me?

Could this be the end— the place where a buried soul seeks to exist in light again?
