A Glorious Mist Will Come

For my friend J.M.F. (Bear)

You ask about this barren desert that you find me walking in
Where the strings of my heart
Are drawn so tight
That I cannot breathe or seem
To part

You wonder if there is more to life than these cracks I see
Or the dust flowing through my hands
And what can be done
With this need I find I have
To run

Yes, sometimes I wonder if there are hills that glow with light
Where I know that I can still stand and sing
About my endless hope
And the joy I know that life
Can bring

Do not worry yourself about the place you find me in
Though I know it sings aloud to you
Soon a glorious mist will come
To drench this void and chase away
My blues

All in good time, no one can rush another, push them it has to be natural and when the time is right it will happen. There are no time tables or rules to this life, it is what it is. Great write.

I know this cycle all too well…Being too high or too low is the norm in my life; it is the in-between that calls to my heart…This piece hit close to my heart Neva! A favorite sure!

Great Write!

I love the tone of this piece, it has a longing, melancholy to it that is sometimes hard to capture but you did a superb job. Great write.
