Help me with words, Lord I am expressionless; my thoughts like the seashell’s roar, echo obscurity. Coherency wears a shroud within this void; cries of inequity for a life cut short, muted. Morning has grown weary to rise and lift the night’s inky jacket, the sun’s shine, like mine, gone astray. Help me with words, Lord my thank you’s, gravely misplaced, are unable to verbalize their situate. Vocabulary’s axis has vanished; off kilter, my head is spinning. Missing you’s argue with my intentions of continued existence. Forgiveness enfolds, but worry is not departed, like a garment too small to fasten, my soul is busting at the seams. Take from me this upwards ache Lord please hold my sunshine for me, tell him that I love him even more than I miss him. My Father help me with words; unvoiced, heavy laden, my prayers await Your release. |

A very stirring and prayerful write. "Help me with words, Lord I am expressionless; my thoughts like the seashell’s roar, echo obscurity." ~ These lines were especially moving ~ and poetic. Love & God's Light,  EA |

thank you EA sunshine, I am...but his message is silence, and that sometimes is hard to accept....*shrug* ps....lol, nope don't help, I forced a poem out and still can't stand it, so I would rather wait until the words are given...no matter how few and far between...... |

You know JB, when the words don't come to me, I kind of take it as sign from my inner self that maybe quiet time is at hand. I have learned to value that time. I used to think it was a negative, but now....not so much so. Contabo |

Jellysweetbeans -- this was a beautiful write no matter what you think of it. It is so touching. I love that song, "only love can break a heart....only love can mend it again." You're probably too yound to remember it....but, I believe that is true and just remember you are loved. For me though I've never lost a child, I have lost many people and friends who I held in my arms and loved with all my heart. The only thing that has helped me is to love again. I know you do and you will be okay. (Sorry, if I talk to much...but it was your poem that pulled this from me.) ....jo |

If there is a risk of having too many of these on one page  -- I'll risk it. |

I am expressionless; my thoughts like the seashell’s roar, echo obscurity. Only to your ears, my friend... *S* Sometimes when we can't hear an answer, we feel another phrasing would surely get results... even as we know that He hears the unspoken as clearly as He does shouts. This is so painful... but it's also beautiful... |

Go and read His poetry, He said it was for you. I’m sure He is waiting with open heart so true. Just for you to see what gift He has for you. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God. ~Psalms 14:2 Great read. JL |
