Take Me Back Somewhere in my memory remains a trace Floating between night and some other place Drifting on a breeze of silent remember There’s just a hint of a forgotten ember Which glows when the breeze blows through Bringing back murmurings whispers of you Caught between yesterday and tomorrow I’ve lost in a haze of slumbering sorrow Somewhere in my half moonlit memory Flitting across shadows I almost can see That mostly lost fragment of a almost dream Shadows of things best left dead and unseen Tales that aren’t quite remembered remain Stinging with soreness of forgotten pain Truths that shouldn’t resurface at all Prick at my thoughts whispering call Somewhere in time my memory stays Muttering moans of lost yesterdays Breathing in moments of shadowed night Lost from dreams mysterious sight Rumours of what were once counted dear Whispering silence fills with cold fear Images of what a mind doesn’t need Slink off back to the shadows to breed Somewhere in my memory I’ve lost me I’m wandering in shadows confusedly Trying to find my way back to light Half sick of darkness half scared of night Floating in a breeze I’m left to drift free With nothing to anchor or secure me Take me back let me hold to that place Set me free of that cruel cursed trace Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

O Marsha, darling girl, your words of remembering and longing for an anchor are so very beautiful. I especially adore your thoughts: "Trying to find my way back to light Half sick of darkness half scared of night Floating in a breeze I’m left to drift free With nothing to anchor or secure me" And you know what happens when I read your beatiful lovely poetry, don't you? I write and write and write.  And so, darling Mushy, yes! Once again, you inspire me to write! With me I see her there floating alone the gray Remembering sweet sunlight of childhood O how her heart longs to still run and play And fly over trees in the breeze if she could. And she can! For I know a man who loves Adores ev'ry step she takes, looking round A man of peace who lives in grace amoung doves Calling her, sweet one, come! Come and be found. I love you, my darling, please come to me I offer you ev'rything your heart says is true Anchor you ship in my harbour, you'll still be free Hold my hand as we walk, run and fly into. All sweet skies of new morning never night Singing and swinging with angels in song Anchored in me ev'rything's is just right So take my hand, follow me, come along. Moor your boat here in paradise with me In the day on the calm of my life's sea. With me. Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Somewhere in my memory I’ve lost me I’m wandering in shadows confusedly Trying to find my way back to light Half sick of darkness half scared of night Floating in a breeze I’m left to drift free With nothing to anchor or secure me Take me back let me hold to that place Set me free of that cruel cursed trace I loved this one Marsha..I do believe it is one of the best you have written, filled with so much heart and yet feeling the sadness within the words...I know you always write with hope... hugss M |
