Free Spirit

As the world seemed to fall apart With pain breaking the heart I found comfort in an angels arms as the night faded I fell inside my dreams. The gentle whispers flow on the midnight wind Where sadness remains no solitude found only the wind whispering. The happiness always seemed just beyond my reach the arms just held me giving strength upholding my despair. As the gentle hands caressed it soothe the aching heart the storm that raged inside soothe and calmed and slowly subsided As we held hands in silence we drank from each others spirit and in that loving embrace my spirit became free.

I think we all have times when our world seems to have fallen apart on us. Letting go and living to the fullest is hard. I am sorry for your sadness and hope you find that free spirit within yourself. I guess no one said life is easy. take care

Oh, this is lovely, Phyllis. It seems many of us are thinking about angels these days. If only we could make real contact with them, we truly would be "soothed and calmed." I haven't been online much due to health issues, but was really upset to hear about your car. Insurance should pay for a good replacement vehicle, but often it doesn't come close to covering the cost. Best wishes in the contest with this beauiful poem! Love, Carolyn
