As you walk through this world
Gentleness has always preceded you
There, in your light, I find reflections of myself
Deeply embedded in this face before me
A softness that speaks only of love with no end
Woven in by the thread of my hand
This ever unfolding tapestry
Of who you will become
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My own words
Laying way to the sacred ground of your soul
Giving life to your Voice
Upholding creation in this world
And the next
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Voice that will carry through
The confines of time and space
Mere echoes of my love and legacy
Delicately embodied in the gentleness that is you
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All hanging on the crescent of a changing moon
Casting a pure light through the dust of my shadow
An invitation back home into my arms
Eventually, back home to yourself.
A Poem for my Rosalie
-Lillie Duncan
