Where Does?……… Here

Where does your soul go if it seeks peace?
What may it do to if torment won’t cease?
Will it seek the darkness that lies within?
Curl up in its tomb let the madness in
Will its sight darken and lose its light?
Will it gibber and cower in mind’s night?
Where does it go when it seeks sanctuary?
Where will it find its reason to be?


Here let your soul rest let it come to me
Here in my heart it will find sanctuary
With my soul there to show it the way
I’ll make sure that in peace it can ever stay
Let me keep it here inside safe and sound
Wrapped in love but never kept bound
Free to come and leave to stay here or go
Feel the love in my heart feel the river flow


Why does your heart shed so many tears?
What does it know that summons such fears?
Does your heart feel abandoned and adrift?
Does it seek someway to seal this rift?
Will it drift aimlessly lost and forlorn?
Wondering why it is lost to the dawn?
Why does it call out, why cry so sadly
Where will it find some real company?


Here let your heart come, let it be with me
Here in my soul there’s a place of safety
I will show your heart the paths of peace
In me you’ll find all your troubles will cease
Lay yourself down float in soft serenity
Glide into calmness yield yourself to me
With me you’ll find your troubles depart
Come to me and I will hold safe your heart

Marsha my dear this is breathtaking.

"Here let your heart come, let it be with me
Here in my soul there’s a place of safety
I will show your heart the paths of peace
In me you’ll find all your troubles will cease
Lay yourself down float in soft serenity
Glide into calmness yield yourself to me"

Lovely lovely words, I so enjoyed. floria

May love and light always shine upon you!

Jeff:  you'll get no argument from me there, Pal.
Shadow Rider:  I wonder, does she know she is talented?
Jeff:  nawwwww, her modesty prevents it, but we should tell her!
ShadowRider:  Yes ! Yes !
  Hey, Marcia, You are Mega-Talented!
Jeff:  Yep Yep I concur whole-heartedly!  
Shadow Rider:  well, time to go.  Say goodbye to self, Jeff
Jeff:  Goodbye for now...self

I often talk to myself also, Marsha...they say all brilliant people do...
But I must say, my dear friend....
That your talking to yourself is much more beautiful and poetic than mine is.
  many many huggggssss!!!

sis,

i know i always respond kindly to your work with my loving words, but
i must say this is one of your top best...i love the creativy that is in
this poem, and i love the idea of writing a duet with yourself using the
persona of two voices..a truly clever idea! as always your writing leaves
me full of hope in both love and life. since knowing you this past year
my dear friend and sister of my hearrt i have had the pleasure of watching
you grow both as a person and as a poetress and it has been my extreme
joy to see that you've finally found a love that leaves your heart with happiness
and your soul free. may God always bless you and may you always know
the kind of peace you do now. Take care. I love you!

Your lil sis,
Amy ~Smile~
