With her own heart, she gave love

Guiding and nurturing me down the path

Of life, a life I could not have lived, without her

Her gentle touch, comforting words, always

Music to my ears, a concert of positive

Notes left in my lunchbox, her reminder

She was always with me, always had me,

In her arms, even in her weakest moments

She was stronger than anyone I knew, and

Now that she has made the journey to Heaven

I know I will still have that guiding light,

For in my eyes, she will always be a star.

I watch the sun set

In a brilliant blaze

Under a sky of stars

I get lost in their haze

Twilight engulfs

My most secret thoughts

As golden rays bury

My mind, distraught

I am captivated

By glorious, rays of light

That take me from morn

Into the night

While I sit here and wonder

What is to be?

When my eyes finally close

What is it I’ll see?

Will my time on this Earth

Be nearer the end?

Or will I still see the light

As thoughts transcend

Higher, like the swing

Which knows no bounds

I fly, for I am no longer

Planted, on the ground

Into the Light – #poetry

Antiseptic, the smell of death

Lingering, acrid fumes invade

Thoughts, no longer the calm

Of a life, no longer vibrant

Bells, alarms, invading silence

Nighttime falls, eternal sleep

The room, stifling with stale air

Yet, a subtle breeze blows

As curtains hang, world-weary

Watching a soul fly, into the light….

 

Author’s note:  This poem came to me while I was in the hospital twice over the weekend.  I hope I don’t return anytime soon…

Carry me away on the wings of a cloud

The silence surrounding, ever so loud

Speaking in colors of pastel unknowns

Pinks and blues, in harmonious tones

Bathing in luminous, scattered beams

Drowning me in my forever dreams

That breathe the colors to make me whole

As I float along with Heaven’s soul

Calming repose, inhaling tranquility

On the wings of a cloud, whispered serenity

Cosmic moods of fiery night
Swirl in whispered breaths
Envelop me in sweet caress
In your ever infinite depths

Rest upon my shoulders
Let the magic take control
Fly about in vibrant splendor
Guide me to the celestial pole

Taunt me with your voices
Low in a breathless sigh
Send me through this odyssey
With the clouds upon the sky

Take me far into the wonders
Exquisite with everlasting love
Ethereal beings traveling down
From the heavens high above
