Nothing has changed

Lingering in the corners

Like balls of dust

Memories

Clinging, unwilling to let go

For fear they’ll get sucked

Into a vacuous world

And so, they remain

As shadows, lurking about

The reminders, hanging,

Strangling at times, until

You finally release them

And let them fly, pieces

Dispersed into air, parts of

You, filtered, floating,

Particles

Easily passed through

Painfully left behind,

Long since forgotten

Softly, fallen tears

Like raindrops, cleansing the pain

Washed away the hurt

I wrote this when my daughter, Alyssa, was in the hospital.  It was such a helpless feeling.  One I hope you never have to experience.  I thank God every day that she is okay….He listens, even when you think He’s not…always have faith.

How can I take away your pain?

I watch, as your color begins to drain

Clenching my chest to bring it to me

Taking the horror you feel and setting you free

Praying to God, in Heaven above

Knowing he hears me, embraces with love

Reminding me always, this is part of his plan

As he holds you close, in his loving hands

Rebirth

We tend to chase away the pain
Run away from where it came
Disappear, yet once again
It comes back to us, all the same

We fight the battle to win the war
The one we never asked for
Waging against a mighty plight
Raging into the depths of night

We struggle to find the safest place
To rest from this weary human race
And gather our souls for better’s worth
Yet find an absence here on Earth

Within ourselves, within our heart
We reach inside and find the part
Missing deep within our soul
A simple piece to make us whole

He’s been with us through all our sorrow
He’ll be with us, again, tomorrow
A grace not found upon this earth
The son of God, our spiritual rebirth

Before I Slip Away

Do you hear me when I cry
Feel the teardrops as they fall
Can you hear my trembling sigh
When I feel so very small

Do you see the pain inside
Can you calm the fear
Do you see what I can’t hide
Please, make the darkness disappear

Will you hold me in your arms
Comfort me at night
Will you quiet all my qualms
And chase away the fright

Hear me, see me, hold me close
Don’t let me go astray
Just be my painless antidote
Before I slip away
