Again We Breathe

Quieten now my precious child!
There'll be no more cries to alarm
Just rest a while your weary soul
Tonight you sleep devoid of harm

We'll think only of the angels touch
And softly wonder how they fly
Cradled quietly in those loving arms
There's no more tears from clouded eye

Each life so fragile to be lost
Just one small part of the whole
But as you pass from this place on
Hear the cry of our shattered souls

Minds are numbed with pain and fear
Yet each new dawn, again we breathe
Nothing left but these useless tears
All I can do is pray and grieve

"Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am." ~ Van Morrison

Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I found a love so strong

Your words strike me with such feelings of
calm my sweet friend...I could imagine you
there with a small child in your
arms..rocking and smoothing their hair as
you whisper softly into it...then your
thoughts trail off so that you are speaking
only silently to yourself....hmmmmm ya got
me rambling  

Excellent work...from my fair feathered friend~

We'll think only of the angels touch
And softly wonder how they fly
Cradled quietly in those loving arms
There's no more tears from clouded eye


How beautiful and comforting! Very uplifting in its reach for something higher and softer than we've ever known. Hug and Prayers.

Sincerely,
Regina
