Precious

Precious is the diamond in the rough 

You were my world , you my love

 In the darkest hours I always see

 A glimmer of light that allowed me to be

 The best in the heart of day

 The future that within lay 

The promise of the dawning hours 

The hope that within flowers  

A testament to your gentle soul

 You moulded pieces made it whole

 Said there is more you can be 

If you allow your mind to be free

 Find the voice that within lay

 Sing the harmony in your own play

 Never doubt you are the one to beat

 All your fears you alone defeat

 A lullaby yours alone 

You don't have to pick at a bone

 You are the promise you want to be

 Unchain yourself you will be free

 Love does not bind nor does it hold

 Instead all you are unfolds

 The warmth of another's love 

Raises you to the heavens above

 Find your peace in the mercy of you 

You are a grain of sand you are the worldview

Your poem reminds me of a best friend (RIP) of mine . . . he helped me see myself & life in a better way. Even tho he's been gone 4 years, I still often think of the things he taught me to boost my self-esteem & change the direction of my life. Your poem has a slight melancholy tone which leads me to feel it may be written about a situation that's in the past or no longer accessible . . . I feel some longing . . . your message is very palpable (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

There is something so painfully beautiful here. The story seems so personal, so intimate, and yet so vast... I was pulled into the core of the world... the peace... the pain. Wanting the lullaby to always play softly over the earth.

A perceptive, lyrical and, frankly, brilliant ode to someone clearly special.
Gratifying read, dear Moon.
