Like A Child, Again

A Wish, I hope, one day, to come true.

The silence

Echoes louder

Than an atomic blast

In my ears.

Something

You'll never understand.

Even if

I could explain it

To you.

As I search

For that magical spot

Where your presence is

The balm

Which heals me.

Mending

What others have torn

With their ruthless callousness

To my tender heart.

To rise

From the ashes

Like a Phoenix

Spreading my wings

In your embrace.

Knowing

My memories are

Are sheltered 

In your embrace

Of compassion.

Able to see

The morning sun

Without trembling

In fear.

Or rush away

And hide.

From

Its healing rays

In the darkest shadows

When you're here.

My love.

Thank you, Ana. Wish, I had seen them, during their prime, when they toured Toronto.

Thank you, Emily. One of my lighter poems, I have written, in the past week..

Love has a way of enveloping us in safety... Silencing all fears and mending all past scars. May you always have that love to dwell in. Beautiful piece!

[therisa]

Thank you, Kalypso. The title of this poem, is one of my favourite The Mission UK songs. Also, the group which recorded and wrote the song, I selected to accompany it. Old school gothic music, from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

You know sorry to say I usually don't listen to the music posted because my iPad's speaker isn't working and I hate switching back and forth between different devices... But you peaked my interest...AMAZING. Music, damn thanks for sharing that.

It's ok, Kalypso. I don't normally play the accompanying tracks, either, due to hearing lost, in my ears. And your welcome.

Timeless writing Therisa - and the ending - could have knocked me down with a feather it was so light and lovely , leaves the reader feeling they have walked though a brief cloud of faery dust
Magical writing
