New Poem-The Soul's Hammer

So, I couldn't sleep the other night. Something kept running through my brain and would not let me be. So, I got up, grabbed my journal and this is what came out. Sometimes a poem just sort of pours out of you and you get surprised by the results. This did surprise me a bit but I love how it all came together. Hope you do too. #WordsandThings 

The Soul’s Hammer:

This girl; Oh so lonely
Tears cascade down the hills and valleys of her soul
Days stretch into years as light vanishes out over the twilight of the horizons edge
There is just her being and the endless darkness of silence in the velvet
No words spoken; only deep, deep thoughts remain
Deep thoughts that steal her breath and blot out the light of her arch

Dark
Dark
Dark

Night falls out of the body
Time holds no resonating beat
Rivers churn in her spirit
Trees bend with her will
This girl; Oh so lonely

Light
Light
Light

Where is the sunshine of the soul
To make it to the other side
She must grasp handfuls of summer grass
See the fields dotted with the bone white lilies of the valley
The end is illuminated on the horizon of salvation from death


Calm
Calm
Calm

The soul is quiet now
Time has a resonating beat
Time has a resonating beat

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

This girl; Oh so lonely
Lonely never more
The sunshine of the soul explodes
Time has a resonating beat

Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
