Shards of crystal prisms fly
Broken pieces, its time to die
Left, an empty shell, I cry

Impossible to put back together

Trying to do too many things
Mind elsewhere, disaster brings
Oh, how I wish that I had wings

To escape this stormy weather

Funny, how life keeps its pace
As tears still stain this aging face
I pray to God for saving grace

Please, free me from this tether

Let me float among the clouds
Spread my wings, and cry aloud
My voice, be heard, no longer shroud

My heart, soars, light as a feather

For He does take my feeble hand
Grasps it tightly, a feeling, grand
“Know now, this is what I’ve planned
Fear not, child, the days will get better.”

If we forget hope

When our world is too intense

Life becomes a mess

Whisper in the silent night

Of promises, of morning light

Talk to me in tender tones

Caress my ever aching bones

With words that speak of thoughts anew

Ones that call to me, from you

To guide me through the darkest days

Quietly, in compassionate ways

Your understanding heart, so dear

You speak the words my soul can hear

Yes! Whisper to me in the night

Of promises, of hope, of light

And hope for the best

The Center – #poetry

You are the center of your universe

Making things, so small, much worse

Always with a scornful look or sneer

To even those you once held dear

While time is fleeting, passing you by

All you think of is an eye for an eye

How silly it is to go on living like this

Instead of kindness, you choose to diss

Those who gave their precious time

Who, in your eyes, are quite begrimed

This I offer, though you won’t hear

My words, no matter, are very clear

Seek His peace, and hope, and light

Then learn to love instead of fight…

 

Author’s note: I have been struggling to get through health issues as well as family issues, but I’m over it.  I don’t mean to sound harsh, but for my own healing and well being, I have to move aside.  These words are the final pouring out of a very hard decision that was, unfortunately, inevitable. Thank you for reading…
