scar creations

there are scars

running along my skin

running within my soul

some

too small to notice

some

too large to ignore

all have been made

by the one

who created me

all have been seen

by those who care to look

for more than a second

for more than a passing glance

none can be left hidden

to those who come unbidden

to thine own self be true

but what if

you are not who you say you are

you are not who you portray

than all is lost

and all is found

from the one you were created

many faces

the moon led the path before me
her face tilted towards my destination
my steps guided by her light
even in the bright rays of the sun
and i followed her wherever she led

i asked her no questions
she told me no lies

and together we walked away
into the dawn of a new day
to be held in the grandeur
of the fae and forlorn
so that we would be reborn
together in dawn’s early light
seeking respite
from yesterday and today
and tomorrow

the midwife

i am a midwife of life
people seek me in times of transition
in times of anguish and pain
they allow me
to turn them
in the right direction
so they can look again
upon their reflection
with confidence
and take the next steps
to create a better life
for themselves

i am a midwife of life
all i ask in return
is a strong cup of coffee
and your strength
to take the next step
