A Poem

One recent night I was feeling especially affected by life's happenings and the healing words poured out..

Return to Me

My heart is heavy

My eyes softly closed

As if in slow motion

Each day comes and goes.

No fire to be found

No gentle wind to blow

A smouldering flame

Wishing only to glow.

Toes facing forward

Yet backwards I drift

In memories that linger

When life was a gift.

The air is dense

My breathing so shallow

Waiting patiently yet knowing

There are no more tomorrow's.

Return to me - See me through

This dawn -  This day

Created only for you

See me through.
