Oh heavenly night
The angels are singing
While your whispers are praying

Heavens gates have opened
A celestial dance in full glory
But the visions within keep crying
From the sorrows of a weak heart

All the thunder applauds an existence
Reverberating in choruses so exhilarating
That the music raises the spirit beyond reality
But lonely echoes still shatter the inner soul
In the gravity of the past holding down your head

Again the words whisper from within
As the intensity explodes in a gentle tear
With so much emotion that it is truly blessed
And you become aware of your precious gift

Raising your spirits you are blinded pure
All the doubts from years of frustration vanish
The burdens of years of self pity
Vindicated in such self worth, smiling deep within

In a whirling blessing the sky closes
To your confused voice
Shouting amen

So in these words of a poet
Who still seeks guidance from above
My tormented words lie in you seeing
The angels fly from my words right into your heart
In the whispers that will set us both free
Becoming aware of our precious gift of inner life

AMEN!
Putting that feeling into words, to me, doesn't seem easy.
You've expressed this perfectly!

I will keep this one in my library.

Oh boy this is very, very good.
I know these feelings very well, and like irie has stated, you have done well putting this into words.
