Another song that spoke directly to my experience. This cut deep and healed at the same time. Keep moving through the waves, dear soul.

To Be Enchanted
This is the newest release by Sleeping at Last. If you’ve been following my blog for a time, you know this is my favorite musical artist. I think we need reminders sometimes that as painful as life can be, as downtrodden as we feel, in the dark hours before we actually begin feel again, hopeContinue reading “To Be Enchanted”
The Unleashing
In our growth, there is an unleashing Unexpected, from the depths of our personal vaults A release of emotions stored beneath years of forbearance Only accessible when we are truly heard and seen. We may have endured the unthinkable And still maintained an air of quiet composure Knowing that to speak of our layers ofContinue reading “The Unleashing”
Fly With Me
Fly with me into the embrace of the sky, Let us escape the heaviness of mundane living Watching the world fade into pinpoints below us Ascending to heights far above society’s glare. Let me take your hand in mine, And while we are floating through cloud-streaked skies Let us listen softly to the inner pullContinue reading “Fly With Me”
The Reality of the Stars
There are moments when we are transfixed Pulled into a memory as if stolen from the present The way we feel when we gaze up at an evening star Mesmerized, awed, momentarily hopeful, and then… Fettered back down to the heaviness of the present Where the air is weighted, where life has broken our spiritsContinue reading “The Reality of the Stars”
Walls Closing
I feel the walls closing in around the soft places of my heart Unwittingly, without permission, as if by unconscious command Whether to protect or to derail, I know not, dear soul, Only that the corners of my mind still connected to hope are fading And I am powerless to this unwanted fate. Maybe itContinue reading “Walls Closing”
Oblivion
In your eyes there is a glimmer of sadness And I will not pry, dear soul, I will not dig, Knowing, as you know, that we must keep hidden The desolate melodies of our human experience When younger hearts depend upon our strength. When the last lamps have faded into dark, When silence swallows upContinue reading “Oblivion”
Christmas Wish
Outside the window, the world is covered in ice But inside, there is a warm, inviting glow A tree that sparkles while the winter storm swirls The coziness of home to contrast the falling snow. An aroma of baked goodies drift through the rooms A clutter of old decorations strewn up from years past MeagerContinue reading “Christmas Wish”
The Road that Bends
At the crossroads, we pause. Not because we cannot see the way forward (We were never blind to what lies ahead), But because once we step around the bend, There is no way to wistfully peer over our shoulders For that fleeting trace of what could have been. Oh, dear soul, there is pain inContinue reading “The Road that Bends”
Symphony Falling
The sky is falling like a symphony I can whisper my words into the rain– The ones I have told no one Tumbling out like a soft lament, Grieving the things I could never say Feelings so close but never quite conveyed For fear of losing, for fear of receiving, Held back only by myContinue reading “Symphony Falling”
