Saturdays, Sun behind the fog sparked thoughts of a metaphor. Threading it into the Sunday Scribblings " Pilgrimage" prompt seemed fitting!
Sun behind the fog
After death
Nothing much makes sense
It’s a fact of life
Unacceptable to the heart
Friends sent me to a psychic
Paid my way, a gift
For my thirty fifth
Ever the skeptic
I locked my armor of distrust
Cautiously she penetrated
A rusted latch
With her oil of wisdom
Opening a sleeve
To possibility
Setting me on a path
Of spirituality
Revealing truth
Obscure, yet accurate
Pointing me
In the direction of inquiry
Past the altitude of religion
Beyond the cloud of deception
Showing me the sun
Behind the fog
It would forever
Light my way
Through the darkest days
Energize me
In my weakest moments
Captivate me with
Ethereal synchronicities
Alter my world
Where the lens
Soiled with confusion
Cleared
Elevating me
Through
Grief
into
a foundation
of solace
and awareness!

oH! is that how you began your spirituality journey? what a beautiful tale of your destined pilgrimage! 35 is so young to lose your parents Sherrie. my heart breaks that you endured that so young. but oh how amazingly strong and insightful you've emerged! your poems are not only moving they also help to empower others from your lessons! xoxo
Love your descriptions here, 'soiled with confusion' etc.
Death is the great equalizer! Good journey to you.
This is lovely. It reads like a gentle rap!
This is beautiful and I love the title!
Aloha Sherri..

Wow, Sherrie, that's beautiful...as well as thought provoking. Wow!!

I'm glad the psychic was so helpful for you.
