A Blessing

laying in this bed ive never been happier
even the thunder an lighting seems calmer
my eyes are wide open without having to look around
like theres something hidden an needs to be found
im not confused or being amused by demands of constant abuse
the sky itself even seems liable for my finger to glide 
this here feeling, now this i dont mind
as a grown woman as i am
i twirl around in circles like im 5 years old again
dancing to songs thats unheard
singing constantly like a free searing bird
i have a smile on my face that havent washed off
the muscles in my cheeks even feel tender to the touch
im not anticipating anything bad to happen
no, im doing nothing but constantly laughin
i geek out and squeal like i won something
which in my heart i have and its a blessing
to be able to experience this again
the joys of life that the lord have spoken
the love of which can be seen and felt in
i never want to replace this
bc all i have mentioned is all and then some i have truly missed

When I welcomed you to PoetrySoup I hoped that you would continue your writing and share it with us. Today I am asking you to please continue your poetry writing. Just write what is in your heart as that is where the best poetry comes from. I will stop back soon and hope to be able to read some new poetry from you at that time F. L. Love, Carol
