Hope

Hope

A Poem by Lina Lotus
"

recuperating from a horrific accident. Still here walking one day at a time. I thank God for watching over me.

"
If I close my eyes
Will life speed up,
Or will this drowning nightmare disappear?

If I stare longer into peaceful space
Can I take the place of that shining star...right above my head
Free of pain,
Free of aches,
Free of paralyzing thoughts,
Free to touch the skies?

If I close my eyes under falling rain
Will it wash away all the purple hues from my bruising skin?
Will the bruises vanish
Leaving me untarnished?

I will trust in You
While you're holding me
Bringing me to WHOLE
I will someday soar
Under golden skies

Once again to run
While the miles shrink
I will pass this trial
I will conquer all with YOU by my side
YOU will keep me strong
Help me face this thunder as I hit the floor

When
Tomorrow comes making all brand new
My body shall heal, so that once again I can run through rain washing all this pain
I will run through fields,
Fields of marigold, the scent of HOPE
Replenishing my soul!

I mention marigold fields because those were the flowers that surrounded my childhood. Mom had them everywhere.

I love the flow of your verses. The lines (stanzas? ) really had me stop and think about what you (your poem) was feeling. Very visual, which I like when I read. I could see everything you described. I appreciate the marigold reference in the poem, and the symbolism it represents
