Heaven's Sorrow
The sky is raining down
tears so cold and stinging
Soon everything will drown
in the rain my sorrow's bringing.
Mist so gray and coldly cloying, thick,
wraps its dreary mantle about all
And like my darker moods, plays tricks:
one minute it's clear, the next I fall.
With the angry sky a molten gray
and a churning sea answering the tide
I search for words to say
wanting so very desperately to hide....
But what can I possibly say
when I'm daunted by tomorrow,
when I can't even see today,
drowning now in Heaven's sorrow?
Rest
My wings are tired of trying
body and soul too tired
Falling when I should be flying
victum of the sorrow I've sired.
My song now a cry of anguish
stemming from deep inside
Where pain and sorrow languish
no longer bothering to hide.
Like a creature of too many nights
my eyes are helpless, blind
Weary of their painful sights
even those in my mind
The raging sea below me
leaps up, deadly, eager
It's despair deep, a final victory
and my defenses pitifully meager
Its dark spray more weight
bringing me down fast
Is this my final fate?
My resting ground at last!
Nowhere at All
The voices in the night
whisper and call,
beconning, drawing my aching soul -
It is you, it is you
everywhere and nowhere at all.
Voiceless the song they sing haunts
the story one of a broken heart
Over and over my pain it taunts
slowly, ruthlessly tearing apart...
I cannot stand it
I am going insane!
Defeat at last I admit
Alas! My soul is slain!
Heart and Soul Dawning
The hush when all is waiting
for that first breath of day
The very sky careful to hold
only the palest hint of light
This priceless moment
when all the mysteries of time
have all been answered
and yet need no answer at all
There, to be savored and cherished-
complete in beauty and innocence
full of promise and fulfillment,
powerful and yet so fragile....
For it is the birth of destiny
and the beginning of all things,
the most perfect of gifts offered
in a single timeless moment for all
just like a heart and soul
on the brink of discovery
experiencing its own dawn
powerful and yet so fragile....
Is There
Bewildered I hold your sad gaze
wondering why I cannot see
the world in the same light as you
or you see it the same as me
Why would it be such a burden
to have someone not unlike me
seeking to make each day joyous
and a place of serenity?
I cannot conceive this sharing
as being a danger somehow.
What harm could you possibly do
when you are so protective now?
You say there's no place in your world
for one who truly does not know
all the evils or all the pains
that another can give or show.
Is there no place in your life
for one that gives without taking,
that finds beauty in each moment,
and finds pure joy upon waking?
I do not understand this world
that you claim to fully embrace
if you say it causes such pain
and is such a dark evil place
Is there honestly not a place
for wind, warm sunshine or earth voice?
Can you look in your heart and say
there is truly no room... or choice?
Bewildered I hold your sad gaze
wondering why I cannot see
the world in the same light as you
or why you believe this must be.
Yes
In the colored prisms
of pain and sorrow
Dare I seek
a rainbow of Joy?
The rainbow dazzles my eyes
and I wonder quite happily
If the sun and my tears
create such majesty?
No Other Way
I give fierce and complete
body and soul,
or not at all.
For what a tainted
empty thing
without the love,
A sin against our purpose,
our soul,
a ghastly lie!
I see the bewildered hurt
and find I must wonder.....
Innocence, Selfishness, or Other?
