A Quiet Revelation
Amy M. Kennedy

Sitting quietly in the dark
She looks up at the silent moon
Pondering over the day's events
Hoping the pain she feels will be over soon

The quiet sounds of night
Comfort her and help to ease the pain
And then as if on cue
Starts the slow drizzling of rain

Raindrops fall on hair
And run down the side of her face
She lets the tears fall from her eyes
Usually she is happier, but today is not that case

The stars twinkle back at her
As she deeply sighs
A million thoughts come to suface
More questions than answers, so many whys

A small smile comes across her lips
As thoughts of her love come to mind
But then she goes back to crying
For what seems like the hundreth time

She wonders why love has to be so complex
And why for once she can't get it right
Wondering how much more a person
Can hold on and fight

She looks up at the skies
As they become colorful and bright
And she hears the voice of HIM
Saying believe in me, never let me out of your sight

She does believe
Believes with all her heart
That he will lead her from this pain
Into his celestrial light and out of the dark




"The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences"
