My Retreat Poem by Lourdes Alexander

A new hope
A new beginning
A new day
A new life
A new place
A new surrounding
Is what I need
To spread my clipped wings
I longed to be
a companion
Walking
Neither behind
Nor ahead
But with you
You on the contrary
Chose to walk far ahead
Ignoring,
Criticizing
Humiliating me
Whilst I tried to match your steps
Slowly it dawned on me
As I sat and pondered
If you understood
The true meaning of Love
For if Love is life
Let me for another, strive
Chats, Conversations End!
