For Me And You Poem by chantelle ribeiro

My mind
A menagerie of images
A spiral staircase
Memories from yesteryear
haunt my present thoughts
confusing me
controlling and overwhelming
its potency
fear of the unknown
a year ahead dark and uncertain
predictions on ancient scripts
echo from unknown crypts
warning of the final call
when humanity will take the fall
for all its inconsiderate acts
of global warming and murderous facts
against the Earth
against God
and I now older, heed their call
Never ignoring the signs ahead
but instead of panicking I instead
listen to what my soul says
Whatever time we have left
I have this one life
this precious gift
to the world
to you
I want you to know
I love you
Wherever this path may lead
I have inside me this seed
Of Hope
Of Faith
Of Love so true
I have reserved this time
for me and you
