Refuge

Laurel Trautwein

Come find me

When you don't know what to do

When you don't know where to go

I will be there in the same place

I won't have your answers

To the questions only you can live

But I will most likely have the same questions

The ones only I can live


For a fallible human moment

I might forget

And think I have your answers

But then I hope you can forgive me

When I remember we are walking the same path

But through different woods

With our own long shadows and filtered sunbeams

Pushing us onward

Pulling us backward

Suffering confusion while swirling or standing still


Feeling my own lostness

Whether then or now or tomorrow

I will see you finally

As you are

As I am

With the eyes and heart of compassion

A twinkling star in a dark night

A light in space to tell you we are all lost

And in that vast and shining truth

My wish to find you and hold you close
