Shadows And Salty Bricks

are you the answer
to the whisper of a silent prayer
the start of a miracle
I can truly share
can you teach me words
that I do not know
show me feelings
I now cannot show
it’s just a simple secret
that I somehow forgot
another lock that got tangled
in a twisted knot
past has found me
on my knees as I wept
till I started collecting salty bricks
and hid them in my silence kept
please free me from
this place within my head
that told me dreams could never be
and caused me so much dread
when you hold me now
am I just a shadow thin
or has the wall started falling down
in repair back to whole again

Wow, you have written a poem here that speaks volumes, and expresses your emotion very well. I hope you find the answers to your questions, but from what I read here, I do feel you are on the right track.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Helen, I know just how you feel, but I also know deep down you will prevail and all your dreams will come true as you crash through the wall that held you prisoner before, just always believe in yourself! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
