Slumber Lands

Laying down

To sleep tonight

I could not drift

To slumber lands

For some

Strange reason

I've been

Compelled to once

Again hit the

Blinking button

To power up

This laptop

Thoughts of

My liquid

Spilling from

With-in my core

My eternal being

So here I sit,

With a message

That I must Share...

By spreading

And bearing my ink :

Onto this piece

Of nude white paper

Somewhere

Somehow

Someone

Needs to hear

These words :

I love you

And...

You are

NOR

Have never

Been lost

Or

Forgotten

To me

You're wanted,

And very needed...

More than anything

Even more than

All these

Naked words

Woven here

By us all

Don't give up the fight

Don't lay it down...

Keep your head tilted

And held way up...

There are a few

" Right Fighters "

You know

And sometimes

Two rights

Will merge

But only if

The very first....

Of the Two

" Right Fighters "

Don't loss the way

Voices we have

Can and will

Lead someone

Along...

That has strayed

Because they've

Lost Hope

When one day

They simply just

Stopped believing...

That there

Was someone

Anywhere

Somewhere

That does

And did truly care

And will hear

Every single

Silent nod

And prayer too

Author's Note

Author notes


I've learned to heed that inner voice in me, the writer and friend, mother and sister...And I pray this poem finds you, and you and you and me....and all those others out here who feel lonely, forgotten, dismissed or simply disregarded with life. We are not...BECAUSE we can all read this and say Amen! Hugs.....family & friends!

I'm not a sappy reviewer (sorry) and I guess there's only one thing to say about this.

Beautiful!
