Internal Rhyme

As each tear fell down in silence
there was no one to hear the swell.
Only the earth could feel the sting of salt
when catching each one as it fell.
The wind heard the cries
when no one else could hear
and Mother Earth felt the sorrow
that was blended with the fear.

The trees danced around me
as they tried to make me grin
but a heart knows no laughter
when things become so dim.
The wind whispered softly
trying to soothe a weary mind
and it tried to ease the pain
held within this heart of mine.

The sun, it did embrace me
as it tried to warm my heart
but the chill lingers on
when a hearts been torn apart.
Mother Earth tried to speak to me
as also did Father Time,
to fill me with their peace
and tranquil thoughts sublime.

I feared I might no longer hear
when the spirits spoke to me
but still they didn't give up
they held me close and tenderly.
The Eagle soared above me in the distance
and to him I turned my gaze
while the clouds gave way
to the brightness of haze.

Then in unison they spoke
they were calling me to hear.
The message they were sending
was making it so clear.
Even through the darkest days
there will always come the light
and there will be a time
to leave the darkness to the night.

Believe in what your heart hears,
listen to the internal rhyme~
all things shall pass
and life heals........with time.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

wonderful ‘write’!

grand-fine depth and expression
of emotion...

I especially loved the ending
[I would have flagged that as
   quite special...but LeeJ
   said it first and best!]

Much applause!

Bravo!  You are growing in leaps and bounds Donna!
Beautiful piece of writing!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

This is really beautiful.  The whole idea of all of creation trying to soothe our soul, wonderful.  I do think there were a couple rough patches with the flow but it did not detract from the absolute beauty of it at all.

What a wonderful write, my friend...some things never grow old, or used up; somethings are always current, as is this.

(angel friendship hugs) Oh Donna, this is ever so true, as I believe faith and all of life's little wonders make up the cadences and skipped heartbeats in-between, and it's in these spaces where we find solace and relief! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
