Safe Passage ( HM )

In life we often question

self worth is one's self being.

 

Its crowded as I sit in this room,

suffocating, I grasp at the air floating in invisible tides..

 

Can someone not hear my faint inner cries ?

rising to the surface of my demise.

 

I reach out, wishing for comfort,

holding me in loving arms..

 

Tear's river in times rolling foam,

magnetic its forces drawing me in,

current in a whorl pool sucking my energy

 

For I am tired,

my body needs resting,

yet I cannot sleep for fear these nightmares shall return,

hauntingly dark and painfully real.

 

Will it end ?

can this day throw light in my shadows,

cast aside the bleak.

 

You touch, I feel

there is a softness

comforting a blanket, warmly snug

It holds me,

I surrender to what now became the hand of friendship.

 

Listening ear, it shades me from the deafening echos,

in voices that are silent ,yet I hear them speaking

offering me protection

from this moment I shall never feel alone.

 

As the dawn rises on tomorrow,

I can smile as I look around me

and, see what beauty I have within in these walls

to treasure, forever..

 

With love

    You take us from feelings of oppression, tiredness, and discouragement inside four walls, and reach out to feel a friend to take their hand and not feel alone anymore, nor she as you connect...You have most eloquently versed this write to touch all our hearts personally...Bravo, J!

    May I be a thread in that blanket? And will you hold me just as warmly as your poem just did? Wondrous work!
