Call On My Name

Lost among shadows of solitude’s flow
Stained glass illusions destroying her heart
Sadness competes for a seat on the row
Little it knows long ago brought it’s start

Sorrow now lingers the depth to believe
Longing some guidance, the proof to be shone
Sitting alone in the silence this eve
Feeling this night is now all she has known

Gone every hope of her desperate fears
Dreamed inspiration of moments unable
Drowned in the waves of her unending tears
Life plays it’s hand as it folds on the table

Merely a light in the darkness to shine
Silent her prayer sent aloft, up above
Doubtful at best of now crossing the line
Never again to know eternal love

When like an echo, a voice it does call
An answer perhaps to her last whispered prayer
I will be near if ever you fall
Call on my name, I shall always be there

Chris, I love it....I told the sun who told the sky who told the clouds and made them cry, the rain drops told a bumble bee who told a rose who told a tree, the tree then told a butterfly who told a bluebird flying high, who told the stars who told the moon Now we all say please get well soon. Happy New Year. Hugs Eve

How cool, Chris. A poem of great proportions, neat meter. I have a fetish for, if it can be done, limited line beginning letters. I am salivating over your poem, on the repeated 'L' and 'S' beginnings, mixing a few 'D' s in beneath. An odd comment (another), could you have 'share' as your last word or 'care' to rhyme. I only say this because I see excellent work throughout your write. Congratulations on your Win on the tightly honed list...!
