I am the words I beseech in darkness,
the thoughts ingrained within.
A lost soul dwelling amid life's starkness,
in words I write herein.
I am a lover wanting to be held,
longing for your embrace.
Broken inside by feelings compelled,
show on tear stained face.
I am the breeze that whispers and wanders,
the touch upon your cheek.
In quietude your thought that ponders,
the sunshine that you seek.
I am but a woman with challenges met,
that life has thrown at me.
But they have not got the best of me yet,
God lifts my burdens free.
I am the distant star gleaming brighty,
shower love the night through.
Within my dreams, you come to me softly,
I am in love with you.

Sandygram,
I knew the instant I saw your name I was about to be blown away and I have been
The thing I love most about your poem is your word use, you use words I rarely see like
'quietude' and 'ponders', simple yet powerful words, and I am a 'word nut' by confession
Language is my passion and to see it used with such beauty and strength just makes my day
Wonderful write Wonderful !!
Thank you very much for your entry

Mesmerizing!
My favorite part is the fourth verse:
"I am but a woman with challenges met,
that life has thrown at me.
But they have not got the best of me yet,
God lifts my burdens free."
It shows a tenacity that can be very alluring, and a proper form of tenacity at that.
It makes me think of the challenge of being able to love, even when one has been knocked down so many times. The challenge would be to get back up, move forward and love as we are meant to do.
Great piece!

Sandy this is simply awesome.A really moving piece of poetry that makes you want to read it again and again.
I don't know whether you will agree with me but I think that on line 1 of stanza three there should be an "s" on the end of whispers to make two plurals ie-whispers and wanders.Very well done and good luck in the contest. Val

Wonderful look at what it is that makes you you. You take icons from the past and use they as a launching point to describe an aspect of your own soul. Unique perspective. Thanks for sharing.
