A Wandering Soul

Warrior

You often wonder what I see, right? What I saw when I first looked into your eyes.Let me tell you a little bit about it, little shadow..

When I look into your eyes, the first thing I see is depth. A depth to get lost in.I see all the storms you've been through.All the hope , hiding deep underneath because you were let down. Again and again.I see the walls you built to keep safe what remained from all those battles.The scars you wear like a soldier who never surrendered , even though you were so close to the edge.

They pushed you, didn't they? They hit you. They knocked you down. They tried to break you. Over and over and you wanted to give in so many times.

But you know what?

Still you are here, with me. Still you got yourself up all on your own, covered in blood and pain.That's why I also see strength in your eyes. The will to fight. To build a future. And I can't remember another pair of eyes with so many shades.After all they did to you, I can see a little sparkle in there. A little faith. And so much love. So much affection and honesty, it's so overwhelming , no matter how short the second is when our eyes meet.

But you know what I could also see right from the start? The open water you're floating on, not knowing where to go. Where to arrive when all you ever wanted was to be able to settle. To rest. To calm. And that's why you're here. That's why I am here.You're a warrior but you are so tired of fighting. Of searching for a harbor. That we met is no coincidence. It's time for you to finally rest.

I know you can't believe it after all this time..But trust me, you've arrived, little shadow.

When the sea goes rough.. I'll be your harbor. All you have to do is following the little light, in the end you will always find me, guiding the way.
