Dismissal Of Sorrow!
Here I sit and think of
words of thanks,
for the days that have
passed.
At times the skies were wet
with rain,
but we both knew that this
would not last.
The grey skies cracked to
let in the light.
The hawk winds cried and
then flew through my sight.
Then I realized that I just
might
have more endurances to
face,
though with no more fright.
You move throughout me in
mysterious ways,
my heartbeat pounds with
ancient drums.
You glide throughin me night
and day,
I’m fingers and toes (occasionally
thumbs).
Here I sit thinking of your
love’s hope,
embracing the smiles and all
the joys.
Cherishing it with others is
my life’s rope,
filling the hearts of little
girls and boys.
Hand upon hand, we’ll climb
this thread together,
reaching passed the stars
with a love that’s never been tethered.
Looking back, to see the
distances we’ve come…
Oh my! How this line has been weathered.
But, soon enough, I’ll be
able to look around
and see yesterday’s love
light
and the shadow it has cast
upon the ground.
For when this day turns into
tomorrow,
I’ll be there to share
in the dismissal of sorrow.
