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
