A Gift AdoredA Poem by Jack... Pulled from the darkness by love
A Gift Adored By jack Out walking through the countryside Its beauty shined alarming Grassy hills and valleys green Alluring and so charming I gazed upon a sky so blue Wispy clouds of pearl A sun shone bright, its smile bold Fallen leaves a swirl A crystal stream meandering Atop a slippery bed Wondrous colors, soft and bold At play inside my head I felt the breeze, the coolness then A trace of sweet, a hint of love A gentle song melodically Calming still from up above More wonderful I have not seen Knowledge felt inside My deepest fear, my darkest thoughts In nature I confide
Surely she would understand Her saplings bending free Each change throughout the planet life Would change in front of me The door ajar, a heart of gold Two arms spread open wide Calling me to climb aboard Welcomed me inside Though what is this, my footing lost Once up and now I fell Black surrounds my every word O’er I need to tell I landed with an awful thud Nothing more to see Focusing, I could not find My hand in front of me Alone I lay, alone I pray For whom did this I owe Emptiness it held the key The lock an angry foe A pleading breath, a clenching fist A Sad and lonely heart Dampness creeps within my soul Ripping me a part Continues not the map onto Plans are made and kept Strength has left, my bodies sore I limply sat and wept Despair abounds, following Each turn this day unfolds Hurt revolves inside my soul Sapping time untold Sorrow knocks on my front door Its feet upon my mat Come on in, I am at home Let’s just sit and chat Regret is heavy on its breath A crooked smile appears My friend, he says, we are one At least that’s what I hear Now darkness even darker If possible that is Cold beyond a temperature Chilling life within Dare not touch me, I command A neighbor you’ll not be One last plead to higher worlds Please send some light to me But why should I expect this gift How does it relate To others watched from up above From beyond the gate Suddenly a touch evolves Another voice demands my eye The more the merry, have a seat Forgive me if I cry Tearing eyes did not appear Different was the strangers look A smile I know I’ve seen before Her reaching hand I took Lifting level towards the open Slim portal of truth A tiny light grew larger still An opening in the roof Holding tight for dearest life Her grasp was taut and firm Butterflies now filled the air And in my stomach squirm I knew her once, but long ago How could she be the same I knew her laugh, I knew her love I often thought her name Higher still we climbed with ease At least that’s how it seemed It’s come again, now happening Akin my constant dream When suddenly the sun appeared Lushness on display The blue birds were just as they were Two loving birds of play I saw her face, a perfect sight Her eyes like diamonds shone Skin like silk, satin smooth Her hair a golden tone I quickly fell upon my knees Looking to the endless sky Seeking answers, questions sail My Lord I ask, who am I How is it a man like me Deserves this angel’s touch Important I surely am not Important not so much She touched my face, my heart felt light Please stand with me dear soul I’ve waited many a year for you Your futures now, behold You and I were meant to be There is no other way Something special in the air The Blue Birds are at play Brilliantly the sun it shines When next to me you stand Breezes happily go their way Across this spacious land You’re safe with me, as I with you No longer to despair Your heart is one within my chest It always has been there I’ve longed for thee My whole life through My heart it speaks My heart is true I look again upon her face Love now filled my plain I took her hand, I held it tight I won’t let go again For anything that you desire Your wish is my command I’ll risk my life to shelter you What ever the demand You saved my life, rescuing me From sorrow and it’s pain I adored you once, so long ago I adore you once again © 2013 Jack...Author's Note
