Cracks Let the Light Come In

Poem of Hope- Written December 9, 2009.

Twisting, twirling, swinging and whirling

There is nothing left for you to take.

Words devour more completely than sickness

Negativity crawls in through my flesh.

Locked eyes

Inward you gaze

Enough of this pain.

I cry with the setting sun, cast in eternal darkness.

Shadows loom, trees lurk

The sun turns its face away.

Treading thin lines,

Tightrope walking,

Drowning in the very air I breathe.

But, with one swift song, you sing again.

With words, shaky still, you speak.

Walls tumble, glass shatters, vulnerable we are;

Lights bleeding, refuge seeking, back into truth we fall.

I breathe with the rising sun, cascades of immeasurable beauty.

Forgiveness is found,

Light emerges

Twisting, twirling, swinging and whirling.

More later.
