Speaking to the skies

Open to interpretation :-)

I looked up at the dusk today

In quiet fury

At my soul

At the past

At the now

I had so many things to say

With no one to listen

But the skies

 

The sun chased the moon away

I try to bury

Fill the hole

heart beat fast

Dont know how

My love became a prison

Became all why's

 

I voice spoke softly in my mind

Be good

Be kind

Its what you're meant to be

It is what sets you free

And apart from those enchained

With the echoes

of their ghosts

Forever haunting them

From one cycle to the next

For things that should be unexplained

The wind blows

Always around them

Always their souls vexed

 

Leave it all behind

In the shelter of my mind

Do what is right

Be good

Be kind

For those you love need you

And the silent strength

that you posess

That  comes from deep inside

They'll only see it

If they want to

They'll only free it

When they want to

 

Be good

Be kind

Tony: YOU get IT :-) Thanks for the review. Its how I used to live and decided to live my life again.

Where does it get us, all our analyzing? Just be good, and kind.
This is good advice, and good poetry.
I am particularly liking the last 6 lines, because it points to Personal Responsibility in ones destinations.
And I am not talking about paying your taxes or attending church...... 'it' cannot be found in structures nor can it be conjured with strange words and complex tools.
'It' happens automatically to the spirit who cannot rest until all the children have stopped crying.
Ok, that's how I interpreted this great poem.

A very inspiring and uplifting piece of writing..to believe you are alright and not always try to measure up to others standards of self worth is but the first step.
