Asleep, I find myself afloat
My soul searching, reaching
I am paralyzed by my own sight
Wondering why, beseeching
Perhaps I need a lesson taught
And He has come to me, teaching
So I listen to these peaceful words
To the calming voice, preaching
Quieting my inner being
With the words I need to hear
Knowing I will find my way
As long as I keep Him near
Comforting the fears and sorrows
As they slowly disappear
He will always be with me
His message now is clear
This poem was inspired by my dear friend Michelle, of Putting My Feet in the Dirt, and a dream she related on her blog. Do stop by and say hello 🙂

She walks like a feather
Afloat through the trees
Mesmerized by the light
She approaches with ease
Unaware of what’s hidden
Still she cannot resist
With soft, silent footsteps
She is lost to the mist
Hears it beckon to her
Child, be not afraid
And she glides ever closer
Through the dark forest glade

A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

When day becomes night, igniting a flare
As the sun sets its light, with nary a care
Where the shadows grow dark, no more fire aglow
Extinguishing the spark, slowly setting, below
When the rhythm of rhymes, are thoughts in my head
And the light from the moon shine, is silently shed
If you listen, you’ll hear such a sweet harmony
Of words finding life, taking flight, freeing me
