It’s hollow in the darkness
Where thoughts and fears collide
The rapid beating of my heart
That tears me up inside

Can you hear my silent cries?
Soft whispers in the night
Do you hear me calling you?
When things don’t go just right

Don’t leave me here, alone,
Again, I cannot face the day
These battles, much too hard to win
My body, worn and frayed

Answers to my questions
Left lingering in air
I’m asking for your comfort, please!
Just let me know you’re there

A sign to reassure me
Everything will be alright
It’s hollow in this darkness
I need to see your light

Be careful of the pixie’s kiss

Lest you think it leads to bliss

Just one peck, upon your lips

And you’re forever in her grips

Fairy dust, to mask her ploy

She’ll make you think it brings you joy

All cute, petite and innocent

Yet, in her eyes, there lies a glint

Of mischief and some magic

The likes of which are tragic

Best to stay away, apart

For surely she will break your heart

graphic-1349781_960_720
A crooked wooden path climbs high

Over mountains, reaching sky

Disappearing into the night

Shall I travel toward the light?

Do I chance what lies ahead?

Or do I stay behind, instead

Afraid of what could be the end

Not knowing what’s around the bend

Shall I take a chance or two?

Yes!  That’s exactly what I’ll do

Striding, over faded boards

Creaking as I step, go forward

Running, to catch the rising sun

Knowing my journey has just begun

abstract-772486_960_720
I sail upon the Echo of the Ocean, Sighing

This wondrous Voyage carries me, Flying

Birds drifting with me, Light as a Feather

The Dreams of my soul, Freeing forever

As I glide cross the water, Splashing

And the Waves all around me, Crashing

I’m carried away, on Clouds climbing High

On my Journey into the Faraway Sky

I want to float on the wisp of a cloud

Listen to the wind as it roars out loud

Feel the heat, from the rising sun

Inhale, the presence of day begun

Lie awake, in a field of flowers

Sit and consider nothing, for hours

Relax, and let the silence grow

Exhale, and let my spirit flow
