If I wander far

if I wander far,

from myself now and then-
a thread of love,
reels me to my soul again,
against all doubts-
that lavish my mind,
in time…
when I unwind from me,
unraveling-
love’s thread pulls me back,
to me.
when I stray,
into my wandering thoughts-
that catch me,
gasping for air-
no fear will keep me there,
in love’s weave of life-
into her canopy,
I am caught-
carried back to my heart,
back to the gentle wisdom-
that shows me,
the warmth of light-
guiding me back to me.
