I open the window with anticipation.
There I hear the birds last summer song,
For summer is done.
Crisp autumn air wafts into the room
Sweeping away with it
Summer’s dust which has settled in the nooks
And crannies,
Yet
Not on open books.
My mind is filled with wondrous thoughts of
Falling leaves and cooler mornings to come.
I look to my garden for one last flower
To which
I find none.
Often
Emotions overwhelm me (us).
I (we) cannot seem to think.
Words always fail me (us)
And
I (we) feel as if I am (we are) falling,
When
All
I (we) need
Is love.
And there goes my heart.
Leaping out of my chest
As my fingertips brush
The first
Delicate petals
Of
These
Spring
Flowers.
They have waited patiently for me as well,
Knowing
How I adore them so.
Beautiful one.
So in love with the way the sunlight
Falls
From
Such a distance
To give of itself.
Gracefully
Placing what life it has left
Upon the petals
Of the blooming flower.
That is where you will find her,
Amongst the flowers.
If you come sit with her a while
You will fall in
Love
Too.
You speak
Softly,
Words
Dripping
With sweet honey.
Pleasant to hear.
Dressed up in delicate finery
And strategically placed
Amongst
Gems and Flowers.
Yet,
No matter how crafty you think you are
Dousing the final presentaion in aromatic fragrances
………………..
A lie
Is still
A lie
My heartstrings are being pulled
To a place far away
Where my love does lie
In the field
And wait.
There are flowers
Of blue
And a rusty old
Gate.
My heart does
Go.
My heart does
Go.
My love does wait.
How is it that some cannot fathom
That one as beautiful and tender
As a blossoming flower
Could not have survived
A terrible winter?
Perhaps the roots beneath the Earth
Became
Through
A lifetime of horrific storms?
There is more to every beautiful
Creation
Than what simply meets your eyes.
Submerge your love
Lightly,
Deep within
My heart.
There I will tend
To it as my own garden
And dance with delight
Amongst the flowers as they
Flourish.
Here I sit.
I cannot sleep yet I am exhausted.
I want to laugh.
I want to cry.
I want to curl up in the closet.
I want to run beside the ocean.
I want to scream.
I want to sit atop a mountain and feel the wind in my hair.
Feel it stroke my face.
I want to dance and laugh and sing until I collapse.
I want to forget.
I want to stand tall, walk forward
And never look back.
I want my heart back in one piece.
I want to sleep and dream and I want to wake up feeling safe with a smile in my heart.
I want to trust.
I want to let go and love,
Hold nothing back.
I want to lean and rest my soul.
I want to breathe.
I want to break the surface.
I want to revive my heart.
I want to give a piece of me without regret.
I want to break the chains my heart and mind have bound me in.
I want to sigh.
I want to cut the anchor and soar.
I want to speak softly and be heard.
I want to lie in a field of flowers and watch the clouds drift by and listen to the wind caress the trees.
I want to believe in myself.
I want to be.
