Alive

Listen                                                                                                 

can you hear                   

the sound of silence          

is deafening to my ears

 

Look                                

can you see me               

I am real                             

flesh and blood            

tears and sorrow                                          

laughter and joy

 

Not just a figment        

of your imagination                                           

a fantasy 

to your mind

 

Touch me                      

can you feel me                  

I am solid                          

living                                                  

breathing                                                      

alive

 

A warrior                        

strong                         

fearless                  

emotional                      

broken

 

Moving through the light                      

between worlds unseen

Drifting through lands

of myriad dreams

 

Close your eyes

and follow me

Let go of the physical

embrace the spiritual

oooo....I like this one. It was really powerful. Adamant.

Look

'can you see me

I am real

flesh and blood

tears and sorrow

laughter and joy'

This would be really beautiful read aloud.

Been through the mill with feelings. Escaping now and again can only strengthen the soul.

"Moving through the light

Thats one of the best things I have seen put together. It makes you feel so far away but so close to coming back.
Very well written.

Thank you so much.

Beautifully descriptive writing. Silence is so deafening at times, hard to understand. The journey of any relationship guided more by the spirit than the mind will always survive the troubled waters. Great writing, Carolann.
