Silent Vigil

Just something I wrote in 2006...

 

The clouds gather in as I sit here

Beginning my patient vigil

Waiting to hear your voice

Returning to my pain-filled heart

I am so scared for you

You continually wander

A little lost angel

Looking for his wings

I am here to help you

Look for yourself

Take you from the wilderness

Of repression and guilt

There is so much more to you

Why can’t they see this

I want you to show yourself

Be who you really are

Rules controlling the spirit

Is the biggest sin of all

You are beautiful to me

A love I keep to myself

I feel the confusion

Overpowering your mind

I pray to God every day

I am not the reason for this pain

Darkness is filling me

As I open my eyes

To another chapter

Without you in it

I am unimaginably frightened

To not feel your touch again

From holding me in your arms

That make me feel safe

I will think of your eyes

Blue like the sky

On a cool autumn morning

With such mystery I could cry

Dear friend I cannot say

What road lies ahead for you

Prayers said every night before I sleep

The end of that road you’ll have me stand

Ahhhh! Simply wonderful! I know you probably wrote this for a specific person, but the image I get in my mind (and I am a weird kind of guy LOL) is the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine, seeking to complete each other and to balance each other.

"I am here to help youLook for yourselfTake you from the wildernessOf repression and guiltThere is so much more to youWhy can't they see this." Extraordinary lines! You are spiritually aware of so much. I only have one question. Who are the "they" who cannot see? This makes me think you are writing more of the ignorance of the world to who they truly are rather than a specific person who should reveal himself to a certain group of people.

Either way, it makes sense to me. I am just curious....

I liked it. Though, to me, it felt...choppy in a way. It had a very good base.
