Listen
do you hear me
in the music
of the song

Listen
are you waiting
you must teach me
to be strong

listen
to the laughter
in your heartbeat
I belong

wait now
can’t you hear me
you must dance me
you must stay

hold me
will you touch me
I can feel you
slip away

wait now
there is time yet
let me love you
one more day

You say
I am  wind now
I can’t hear you
blow my way.

Such pretty words to grace my screen.  Thanks Martie

 "The storm rises up when the shadows descend
every beat of my heart every day without end
I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break
till theres no more to give if thats what it takes
I will risk everything I will fight I will bleed
I will lay down my life if thats what you need
every second I live thats the promise I make"

I have no idea who wrote this... tell me if you know. =)

Martie,
This is wonderful!
Pretty soon you'll be writing villanelles!
I also loved your moon poem. It is a gem

My hearts withers within me as I read this.  I have been there, but I could not find the words as you have here.  Aching pain in beautiful verse, with a magnificent title.
