I love this……….and surely the heart (and the explorer) it speaks to. Beautiful, dear Millie.
Whenever you look
into me
I can see you’ve found
the forest, oceans,
deserts, cities,
caves, rivers,
and mountains
trapped in a terrain of womanhood.
Although no one else
has noticed,
you search high and wide
each morning,
every night,
diving into the depth
of things you can’t understand
but want to learn to love
with such passion
that just being with me
makes you
the greatest explorer of all.
In my skin you find wonder;
in my eyes you find treasures;
and, in my heart you find home.
A very passionate and captivating poem! Thanks for sharing, Millie wrote a gem!
