she carried
every tear
outside her heart
a withering corsage
against her skin
held such deep conviction
ache to recognize
a name or two
– a lifetime
unforgot
a time before
this burden come –
to lay aside
the rest
would give of faith
a place within her bed
beneath
a sky of mirrors
windows burned with light
a faraway
brought nearer
by the pain
take charge
the tongue to harness –
a bitterness to chide
or shoes
– you’d never wear
their sorrows out
forgiveness
for the sake
of who you’ll be
when comes the dawn –
held within redemption
by her love
. . .
There is such sacredness in this soul song of love, Bobbie. Each line leads as an introducing bow to the next soft whisper of divinity. Beautiful, as ever, my friend. xo
Thank you so much, Angela. Always, you know my heart. ~ Love ❤
Love the poem, Bobbie.
This phrase grabbed my attention – “…or shoes – you’d never wear
their sorrows out…”
Now, how lovely is that – filled with metaphors. Remarkably unique.
Luv and peace,
Eric
Thank you, Eric. Almost always, when the writing has drained me, I find the diamonds amid the dust……..the words where ten thousand more are hiding. Thank you so much. ~ Always with love, Bobbie
And such a blessing did arrive, the moment her baby opened his eyes, knowing that the birth of the gift she was given, will bring to our world such a lasting blessing. And though many tears she may have cried, more happiness than tears filled her eyes, for she really knew the reason why, for his eternal love in her heart would always abide. Beautiful image and words Bobbie, it touched me deeply, and yet even the sound of his name brings happy tears to my eyes…we know where we are from…love you my sister!
Indeed, dear Wendell………. He is risen indeed! ❤
