I'VE FOUND IN YOU by Janavi Held

From the editor: It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that yesterday afternoon Janavi Held , a very dear friend and spiritual sister of mine, and regular contributor to our poetry project has left us after struggling with a terminal illness for years. She left peacefully surrounded by loved ones. This is the last poem she wrote, in which she calls out to Divinity to take her. I've Found in You love like an ocean I’ve found in You  my little dear one and yet, I know You  run off at night playing God, but my sweet  I am grateful that You return to  me in the day spilling Your silky voice into my wanting ears and drenching my eyes with all that lovely sweetness. Your hands are little gems, which capture the morning light Your palms are like the sunrise itself and your eyes, so deep, as if the enormity of love could live there effortlessly. Take me away with You my sweet  for You know my heart is Yours as You’ve stolen...
