She Touched Me In Silence by Kari Kilgore
From the Recent August Retreat, Women, Creativity and the Journey of the Soul: Reclaiming the Gift of the Shadow
She touched me in silence
As gentle as the summer wind
Cooling, refreshing, transforming.
The seed that lay within me
Sheltered nearly to extinction
Revived, enlivened, fired into life.
Such colors have never existed
Such shapes never seen
Such scents no one has ever imagined.
My journey as the potential
The possibility
The maybe is ending.
My journey into the full, lush, rich reality
Begun at long last.

Wow, Kari. This piece is really powerful. I got a lot of hits from it. I have some questions. Great Work!
Hi Lisa, thank you for your comment! I'm so insecure about poetry, though it does seem to come out ok when I try it.
I'd be glad to answer questions, it might help me understand the piece better myself!
Kari
