Because I'M Scared

Because it rain with heavy drops
Because no sun bright enough 
Because fear takes over 
Crying in the dark alone 
Heart on the floor
All is in fragments
Wind twirling 
Mind blowing
Soundless 
Fading 
Vanish
Picture less...
Where have you gone
Sightless in the dark
Crying in the dark
Reaching 
Begging
Hopeless is doom
Mother of nature aid me
Light of the sky guide me
God of creatures and living help me
My heart please stay with me
Weep no more calm me down
Fear no more love me true
Hurt no more embrace me anew...
Because I'm scared... Smile!

This is quite an emotional prayer, Akkina. When all odds appear to be against us, instinctively we turn to heaven for help. ~ warm regards // paul

Kina, what a mind-blowing write. Such beautiful and intimate heartrending pleas that I want to answer along with God and Mother of Nature. A powerful, sadly emotional poem that dances with a delicate rhythm and graceful imagery. Love it! Warmest wishes my creative and wonderful friend ~Susan
