Torn apart, lost, confused Dreams vanished into nightmares Years of love, tears of anguish Wondering if tomorrow will exist My face, just a blur, eyes so red I sought for answers Seeking to find myself Amidst millions of reasons A search, that perhaps would never end Walked a thousand paths, heard a thousand voices Some calling to give up, others singing love songs Melodies so sad, of feelings rich and rare. I saw flowers I never flinched Birds telling me to look at them, I ignored Possums, angry that I did not stop and speak Owls, letting me know, it was night I found my way through the dark to lay my body Another day, another night, into the unknown The thunder and rain dampening my soul In a room alone, cross in my hand My spirit trembling, faith in my heart. Mercy, my God, I prayed for healing Homes apart, thoughts immersing The tears flowed, and the pain mounting With tenderness, the pen in my hand My honest words to you my love Revealed once more my love for you Expressed rapidly, feverishly, and tenderly My deepest sorrow in the words Only God made me write, giving me courage To reassure you of my sincere hurt Of not being with you to hold you And you holding me once more You opened my heart again My face drenched from torrential tears My voice trembling, sounds of pain My heart greeting your words Telling me to return home God had answered my call As I make my way to you He walks at my side, His hand on my shoulder Bringing me home, to you, to our children And with the softness of his whisper Asking us to love and support each other In the gathering of the home, He made for us. The darkness is gone, His light shines. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

You write so fragile and tenderly. I'm always astonished at the depth of spirit you portray in such a deep and delicate manner... |

I don't know what you're going through, but I know that with expression and pouring out of emotions the pain has competition and that is so important. This gives the feel of an answer toward the end and went from dark to light, and I hope that is also true.
