{you and trust}
after the violent sunset,
i lie here restless,
upon crumpled leaves,
hidden caves reveal reality,
all of these stars and us,
all i need
is
you and trust.
–e.l. jayne
The finest part about poetry is the accentuated emphasis of the individual word; the epitome of less is more.
The circular nature of this poem, starting with “you and trust” and ending with “you and trust” is a reminder to me that we must trust our selves – I must trust me. At the very least, I must understand that as a destination that is beneficial, and reachable. Thank you for this deep and impactful reminder. 💛
