The Sun Shines Through

 

I am shedding the skin of pain.

Thoughts of hope sabotage the fortress of defeat.

Like water, feelings of redemption rush through the deep washes of my mind,

Taking with them the dead branches of betrayal,

The fallen leaves of love.

Like a flock of songbirds,

Companionship invades the lonely lion that lurks in the mountain of my soul.

They flutter and fleet around him,

They dance in the meadow of my broken forest of love.

Dropping seeds of hope to create a meadow of flowers that mark the tears of happiness I once wept.

Their song is heard.

The hand of a child will reach up to tug upon my clothes of burden.

Words from her mouth that bring more happiness, warmth and beauty than a grand sunset:

“I Love You.”

I remember than that I have lost nothing,

Like a flower when a bee lands upon it to suck the nectar,

Flying away to make honey from the love my heart gave to it.

Sweet like the kiss of a lover upon the scars of conceit.

Life comes full circle like a track.

Some choose to go the easy way and tread across the field of there apathy to skip the walk around.

Missing out on all the beauty, ecstasy, agony, and learning life brings you.

I am now realizing that I have walked the track completely with my eyes closed.

When the sun shines through the love of a thousand clouds of lonely children,

I feel the light upon my eyelids.

I begin again my Father.

WOW! I always get floored when I read a poets deep emotions inked out...everything flowed like water...bending the crest of serinity and exploding into the gulf where the river and ocean meets...wonderful poetry.

. beautifully poignant and inspirational writing ... indeed life is futile without "all the beauty, ecstasy, agony, and learning" ... i truly don't regret trusting the people who betrayed my trust ... i am what i am and they are who they are ...

Breath-taking and absolutely amazing piece of poetry. The use of imagery is exceptional and the flow so smooth, It helped me read on and on without a single break. The forest you created and the different colours of emotions you filled in it is something that really catches the attention in a very subtle and soothing way.
Very well penned. :)
