Have you ever faced the darkness ~*~
Unaware of all it veils….
Bruised and broken
From the blows
Dealt by the angry hands of time….
Tired and weary ~ lost in pain ~
Footsteps walking through
The blindness
Guided by the eyes of faith…
The soft and tender lips of hope
Kissed sacred teardrops falling…
Liquid voice of pain that’s calling….
Silent whispers of torment ~ * ~
Vanish from dreams ~ * ~
Awaken us.......
From yesterday’s nightmares
Within this cocoon
Of betrayal’s despair
Deceitfully persuading us ~*~
That all life encompassed...
All that it promised...
All that awaited...
All that was ~*~ and all that will ever be...
Surrounded us in this tomb of emptiness.

~*~ shhhhhhhhhh ~*~

~*~ Mercy’s angel beckons you ~*~

In silence ~ put your fears to rest….
Your wings were made ~ to fly….
Butterflies transformed from bondage…
On velvet wings…they grace the sky….

~*~ Transformation ~*~

In those times you’ve faced the darkness ~*~
So aware of all it veils….
Slowly healing ~*~
From the blows ~*~
Dealt by the angry hands of time….
Reborn, intently focused….
Fluttering carelessly
In the abyss of deliverance
Spoken in redemption’s heartbeat ~*~
That fills your body with angelic music….
Played softly by the violins of hope….
As silent whispers of torment ~ * ~
Are banished from dreams ~ * ~
Yesterday’s nightmares
Are forgotten in the
Embraces of God’s promises….

By the blood of love that signified
Our destiny...
That all life encompassed...
All that it promised...
All that awaited...
All that was ~*~ and all that will ever be...
Surrounded us in this gift of fulfillment.

In silence ~ put your fears to rest...
Your wings were made ~ to fly...
Butterflies transformed from bondage...
On velvet wings ~*~ they grace the sky...

~*~ <3 ~*~ <3 ~*~ <3 ~*~

(...when you feel you’re all alone...
Look above, and softly say...
Greater is He ~ that is within me...
...And He will take the pain away...)

======================
wonderful empowering and spiritual write Martha ...
so many well expressed emotions...
your words took us thru a cycle of self discovery and innocence and self respect reclaimed.
well done postess.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
