Yet Another Day


Look into my eyes
and you will see
borrowed words,
those that softly crumble and mix
until mine are no longer mine
and the reign of memories quiets
the sins left to wander
in the grayness of a mind
stained by the burden of thought,
knowing that once
I had the moment of truth before me,
and I let it slip away.

I can never escape myself,
nor the songs of another...
like the jewel I wear around my neck,
I am touched daily, its warmth
resting there...
where my heart's rhythm pulses
always aware
with an everlasting love, inside,
pressing me on to another day,
always gifting me with a lifelong friend,
a sister, sharing horoscopes,
searching for reason,
hoping for a transformation to alter
the blindness felt
through eyes lost in their deepest brown.

We share the night, the demons that haunt,
innocense stripped, waiting for that final call.
And as I fade into the darkness,
I remember the laughter, the teasing,
her beautiful voice in song, and how I wanted
to be like her in almost every way.

We are so different, yet of the same heart,
both reaching out to others, despite our needs
and would rather bandaid our hurts
than watch another bleed.

I am embraced by new views, my abilities lost
on the challenges before me, unanswered questions
now meaning less, my failures wrapped around me
craddling me in the only comfort I know
and words, my only habit, that ride me
into tomorrow, surrendering me into prayer
that the sun will appear,
and we will get to share
yet another day.

Amen...and I pray this for you too.

This is beautiful, Maureen.
Hugs to you, my friend...

Powerful wise words spoken my friend....wishing you the best, and yet, with a heart and desire as such, you will forever be a success, your belief is incredible and you are the only one that can make you happy.

Thank you for sharing these words with all of us...as they are balm to the heart mind and soul!

Hugs....Lee J.

Maureen:

what a beautiful hymn . . .

I can never escape myself,
nor the songs of another...
like the jewel I wear around my neck,
I am touched daily, its warmth
resting there...
where my heart's rhythm pulses
always aware
with an everlasting love, inside,
pressing me on to another day,
always gifting me with a lifelong friend,
a sister, sharing horoscopes,
searching for reason,
hoping for a transformation to alter
the blindness felt
through eyes lost in their deepest brown.

and quite the blessing, in return
Beautiful

There should be many days yet to share for hearts such as these... this world needs more of them. *S*

Goodness, I swear you read my heart and mind. This is so emotional and it leaves me without the real words. They have escaped me, honestly. Incredible, incredible write!
