the hand of God was clearly in my life that day
when all i had slipped away
and still i could smile through the murky gloom
of those who foresaw pain & doom
i saw the brightness of His love force shadows to flee
because through it all, He still loved me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and let them just be
so they can see
what you mean to me
to us all
i wait for your call
while you stutter and stall
i cry as you fall
to the ground
without a sound
silence fell around
stunned the crowd
with your display
don't run away
let me please stay
my smiles grey
don't go
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arms outstretched, groping in the dark
Blind forward motions, trusting all yet none
Future uncertain, nothing known, fearful hope
Voices, memories, swirling entities swamping thoughts
Singular tear soaking in, taking control of the frenzy
Shaking limbs, knees weakening under the pressure
She sits slowly, taking care over the motion
Breathing slowly, in then out, one at a time
The fear subsides, sweeping calm
Fog lifts, eyes open, all the colours free
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When silences echoes in your ears,
Are they open?
Closed to the sounds of those who care
Yet we think no ones there
Smile
Look upwards to the heavens,
Blue skies aren’t accidental
Clouds cushion the canvas
Every blade of grass in its place,
Helping the world revolve
You are unique
No other past or present matches
No one else could smile your smile
Who else could laugh as you?
Take heart, stiff neck
You’re as special as the day is one off
Don’t let them tell you different
Believe and take the first step
