Repetition Reclamation
Comfort rests in memory
of ordinary patterns shattered.
When fire consumed all hope,
death deconstructed dreams,
despair threatened life force,
I put foot in front of foot,
stumbled sightless until
path emerged from mist..
When ordinary patterns shake,
Comfort rests in memory.
What I have done, I can do
now and again and again.
What a lovely take on " comfort" liked it a lot:)

ReplyDeleteA very inspiring poem Victoria! I like the idea that comfort can be found in the memory of what we have been able to do before.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of knowing that one can get through the problems of today by thinking back and seeing that one did indeed work through problems in the past by putting one foot in front of the other! This can be comforting indeed, Victoria.
