Tis my point of view
When life stops within one’s soul
Deviancy thrives

I looked
But couldn’t see
Lost along the way
From nowhere
That tiny shard,
A mere splinter
Keeping the whole complete
No holes to close
Nor open wounds to mend
Still my soul
Laid bare within
Determination faltered
Ease gave up too easily
Yet, I remained intact,
An entity
Battling the demon
In my head
Refusing
To let him win
And still I wait
Waving my white flag
Pleading
For the referee
To call the fight

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

Whisk me away, upon whispering winds
Remove all the sadness, I am feeling within
Under the guise, of a clear, crystal blue sky
Let my soul, ever cloudy, break free and fly
Word of the Day – Cloudy
Daily Word Prompt – Guise
