Breaking Pain

your visit was brief in the darkness of night
you took my hand, I knew I'd be alright
you spoke of silence, stillness, and ego controlled thoughts
singing words of strength - quieting my agitated heart
as hope fluttered inside my being
once again, I basked in your healing
I forgave your absence as I apprecated the release of fear
soaking in your peace as you sat near
watching my gut-wrenching thoughts walking away
no longer captive of my own silence I had much to say
your softness revealed - a charm I had forgotten
I was again a  fairy - being showered by flowers in this garden
breaking pain over a cup of hot tea
embracing the grace of God as it washed over me
then, I awoke and watched you disappear
that fiction - my fortress must've brought you here
just a place between thoughts in a hush of my dream
my friend, again -  you are gone so it seems

i'm swept off my feet by what i read.

Noelle,what a beautiful, heart rendering post....what comes from the heart has a very special force in it.

i've loved it§

Even though, more than pain i see in 'the blossoming grace'!

very nicely written.

Thank you, Kay...what a very vivid and almost too real of a dream..making the loss that more apparent.

the finality of death can be so brutal at times.
