Reflection of God’s Light

In the wisdom of this mystery There is this familiar horizon upon my gaze As I breathe prayers to Heaven I can feel my ancestors within my soul Only to be fractured by what I’ve missed Or is it what I crave to love? Being human makes my path feel Extremely guarded In the guiding depths of these waters Sailing my inner vessel on the sea The reefs can’t hold me captive anymore For God, my Captain, guides me through And with all the moving pieces of my life I still dance on the waters of eternity Believing I should hold on so dearly to their dreams Appearing from the tapestry of my heritage Only to be healed, and confined no more God protects our existence While my ancestors hold candles of light Gazing upon Heavens’ stars I reach for the reflection of their light within these waters This poem is dedicated to my dearest friend, Hripsime. Thank you for bringing me closer to our language, heritage and my ancestors. I am forever grateful to you.
