I've tried so many times to understand this
Trudging through both fire and pain
I still am left to wonder
Why this particular wound leaves me drenched in rain?

Trying my best, I do only what I can
I'm left feeling defeated and worn
Desperately I want this ache to end
My heart and soul so tattered and torn

I feel the touch of Angels
They are up there, I feel them in the air
Still though I'm down here left with my thoughts
Now my soul and heart, I completely bare

I've sunk so low, not knowing which way is right
Trudging on I go, following my heart
Wondering though is this the end
Or is this just the start?

Bitter tears stream down
I fight the biting cold upon my face
Looking up to the sun and sky
I try to find that familar warm place

I'm only what I am, no more and no less
This wound though is a gaping hole
I fear if I don't find a way to close it
Soon it will engulf my entire soul

Tell me what to do, my Angel in the sky
What do you want from me?
Guide me with your gentle hands
Please let me be free

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

A very close to home felt poem you have written here..one of which I have oft asked myself....and could only conclude, in his time not mine...as I believe every instant on this earth there is purpose and predestined trail, for our own individual growths, there is a time and place for us to finally come to terms with things and know...when we are made ready?  Does that make sense?

Terrific write, very much enjoyed reading and understanding that others to have felt this way. Thank you

Ohhhh gads you are writing such a heart filled with longing and answers, such a bitter sweet healing, you will not find all the answers at once, yet time will heal, and the wounds will close.....there is more wisdom in these words, then I can put here...but know I know how ya feel....hugsssss gentle poet....

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

Amy, you are such a gentle and beautiful soul and it pains me that you are suffering so.

I do know this with every ounce in my being, that everything in our lives, be they good, bad or indifferent, are all part of our growing experience. Some have paths that are more difficult than others, but it is they who have the greatest opportunity for growth in this lifetime.

Warm loving hugs,
Linda

Amy, personally I say, don't leave it to the angels...pick a way and move...it's always better than standing still.

(of course, I don't practice what I preach, but I know what I've been told) *shrugging*

Amy,

First please let me say I miss you if I may (oh god  i've turned lyrical...lol) I'm glad that you've found your parents because I know that this subject has been particulary hard for you.  I'd send you an e-mail but I don't want to cause more trouble for you.  

You take care of yourself Amy Michelle.....i'll be around.
