Many times along this journey We feel forsaken ~ and alone... In search of serenity’s doorway Where life’s sacred mirror stands in it’s Mystical majesty Awaiting to reveal a single moment Of reflection... That will erase the emptiness Pleading for mercy’s company Beneath the stars above Frolicking in secrets that My soul searches relentlessly to understand And to touch ~ if only long enough to believe. Beneath the vastness of something So powerful ~ * ~ * ~ That holds all of this together... So perfectly ~ * ~ * ~ The hand that sets the sun when darkness Must embrace the horizon As her invasive curtains on the windows of the universe are drawn tightly... Offering glimpses into Heaven’s floors Through the eyes of the stars and the moon. ~ * ~ Suddenly ~ * ~ The emptiness once aching inside of me Has vanished... Reassurances tenderly erased through Silent conversations of creation Surrounding me like a blanket of tranquility... Holding me close enough to Feel the heartbeats of dreams That once died in my arms As yesterday watched in vain... Wiping teardrops of lost hope from her eyes... ~ * ~ Somehow ~ * ~ Tonight...beneath the vastness Of life that beckons me to be strong... Time’s symphony sings verses That remind me how to dream... And embrace me in the caresses of my purpose in this life... And I know that despite the emptiness That stalks us... The pain that devours our inspiration… The fear that destroy our bridges into dreams…. ~ * ~ We are never alone ~ * ~ And time is waiting for our realization Of our significance... Before the book of life is finished... The author is waiting... No more teardrops... How high can we fly? ~ * ~ We are never alone ~ * ~ Author's Note: I'm so happy to be here....this one's for you, Mysteria....you are a blessing in my life, sweet lady! |

Tonight...beneath the vastness Of life that beckons me to be strong... Time’s symphony sings verses That remind me how to dream... And embrace me in the caresses of my purpose in this life... And I know that despite the emptiness That stalks us... The pain that devours our inspiration… The fear that destroy our bridges into dreams…. ~ * ~ We are never alone ~ * ~ And time is waiting for our realization Of our significance... Before the book of life is finished... The author is waiting... No more teardrops... How high can we fly? ~ * ~ We are never alone ~ * ~ ============== this is wonderful ... indeed.. we are never alone... stunning imagery and poetic message in free verse.

Martha~ Welcome to Passions family of friends and poets. A lovely piece you've chosen to enter our circle with - 'And to touch ~ if only long enough to believe.' Yes, we touch and in doing so - find that we are never alone. ~*Mysteria*~ has introduced you well ... we look forward to reading much more from you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Dear Martha, Whatever did I do without you? And why did we meet? For what purpose? All things I have time to find answers to thanks to you! This is my favorite: The emptiness once aching inside of me Has vanished... Reassurances tenderly erased through Silent conversations of creation Surrounding me like a blanket of tranquility... Holding me close enough to Feel the heartbeats of dreams That once died in my arms As yesterday watched in vain... Wiping teardrops of lost hope from her eyes... You are my blanket of tranquility in my storms and even that thought alone, makes me know this - I am never, ever alone! Bless you for this poem you wonderful lady. This was truly one of your lovliest. You will be forever held in my heart.  |

No there is never an alone except in blind or choosing all the worlds a dream awaiting only the living artists hands unless through whithered eyes the canvas of life defiled implodes so readily there is no seeing but the bursting of cataracts revealing A very nice introductory poem. My compliments. " I can lie to my mirror only so long as it chooses to listen to me, and look me in the eye." |

My dear sweet Martha, what a pleasure and pure joy it is to see you here, posting your inspirational poetry which has always touched my heart in so many ways. Welcome to Passions and I hope to see you more and more. I really enjoyed this first poem you've posted. It's about never having to worry about being alone and this is something I never tire of hearing from you. Your faith is faith I admire.  Kate Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.
