“Raconte-Moi” (Tell Me)
~a service piece, serving one of the NPS stars, Trevor, this poem comes to me when I listen to one of my favorite French songs
Tell me
Your life stories
Your unseen sorrow
Your dreams and despairs that only you and your buddies know
And perhaps
None of your buddies know
It’s still hidden quietly
At the secret garden of your innocence
Those who can enter
They bring you a rose
A miracle of love
Wise and young
Old and innocent
Cherished and adored
Kind and forever sweet
Your nature shines like the sun
Dimming the light
I saw the man you are meant to become
Even if the light is still dim
Around you
And it seems to be a bit too dim
For the star dusts that you carry in your pockets
It’s just a note
That you picked it up one day after a long day
It says
I know you
The magnificent child and the man to be
There is one thing more you need to know
And I am going to whisper this to the Universe
My beloved
Your essence is non-stoppable
The timeless piece that is You
Those of us who cherishes who you are
Will hold it gently in our hands
Nurturing every cell of yours
Until one day
Your truth comes
Majesty is your last name
Forget Not
-Priya Lin
