lost children
freestyle

Once I laid in bed I saw all the
gold in the place where I don’t go
because I’m scared to share all my love.

I don’t want to be hurt and left dead
upon the snowy field of trees and
white dust, blue sky and my crying eyes.

I just want to share but I am
so afraid the sky will snow. It
seems so cold all alone.

And the clouds are restless like my heart
like my arms like my gift of gold
that is all a dream.

When I lay my head down
close my eyes in this map
I made you can find me by

a river that doesn’t flow
the sky, your eyes and I know.
oh, empty shores adore.

(with the exception of Marties tribute poems of her daughter Michelle)....
its been a while since a poem made me cry...
from your pen to my heartstrings...

I made you can find me by"

Love is my religion, I believe in nothing else.
To find that inspiration, live that inner vision.
Love is my religion...I believe in you.

Beautiful. You have an original style that I really enjoy. "snowy trees and white dust, blue sky and my crying eyes" - really nice writing. You've captured this emotion well. Nice job!

Thanks, everyone. There was a song on a cd I was humming the melody to, and this came out. It's so completely unguarded, hence the title.

Mike, hello. I'm awfully glad I had a chance to read your poem tonight. It is both grand and intimate, tender in its scope of delicate imagery and vulnerability. If you have an opportunity, please read my poem "Night Unending" ~ I believe we may have been of like mind while writing these two.
