Sometimes

Sometimes
in comes this feeling
like touch   like song
it is from inside   healing

And it tells me   true
and it stays into  the dark
the place of waiting  the part
not as if I could sing
but I do   for this time
it is my song all along

Sometimes  yes
there is   I hear
and it speaks my mouth
and it knows my ear

And I can listen
then
I can sleep   again
with a voice   soft

across   I can cross
the loss

Martie, what a perfect poem to hold,
deep within, as the night beckons,
and dreams of what could be...
keep us warm, and safe,
until the unknown promises,
of tomorrow...

Pleasant Dreams

Martie
A good poem to read at 3 a.m. when you can't sleep, I'll save it for those times when that happens to me...

but I do   for this time
it is my song all along

The chasm is wide,
the fall, so dark
but the song will lift
and carry....

Well done, my friend.

and it speaks my mouth

And I can listen

How very beautiful... may those sometimes be whenever you need them.

you reveal the depth and breadth of feelings and thoughts and knowing you have gathered over the years - this says so much about how one "handles" a loss - loved it Martie - Paul

Hi, Martie.  A very touching write.  The healing process is long and hard but when we know it's happening we can speed it along.  My best to you.
