Eileen R. Kelly Poet Lyric

Bathed

This spirit once bathed in your
forgiveness...

...this spirit washed clean...

...this spirit left that dark place...
where dreams escape

...the dreamer...

imagination stunted...
feelings trapped no freedom

no freedom for me...

fear saturated this mind
totality...

...this spirit could not find a remedy...

for the source I will not
return...for my soul will
crash and burn...

you reached in and save my
life...a little girl lost inside
she knew nothing but ugly strife...

...the source...the ugly side...

she let go to be with you...
in you she found the truth...

she could've sailed on and 
repeat the same...but she knew eventually
she would go insane...

she knows the source does not
welcome her...the umbilical cord of 
her life cut to shred...

a place she feared...a place
so sad her spirit her will will 
not ever tread...

no child...should be exposed
to what this spirit survived...
the heavy burden this spirit knows

...to be freed of the lesson...
has humbled me...for in my
faith my strength this true love you
give...  

I uncovered me...
