Childs Play

That moment That perfect moment Where time became eternal I saw I opened my blinded eyes and saw The expanse of your soul To reword To match time stricken words to an eternal glimpse Absurd So, I write I write without reason Flowing with the ink blotting the page I ran I ran around - all around Into darkened corners and wounded places I knocked down fortified walls Cleaned up forgotten issues Dressed open lacerations With my arsenal of WORDS I SPOKE I sang I hummed I belted out notes from the depths of my soul I lit you up And I giggled as I watched you shine You skipped with glee at the sight of ME? I tried Oh how I tried To climb out and walk away I yelled - I cannot be here - You belong to another But you offered me no ladder So…I… Stayed I played I played with words Rearranging, inventing, creating New ways to express…love It was ok I mean…I was just playing…with love Not your Marriage One day One beaconing reckoning day She saw your light steps Almost dancing with your secret Play with love in words With me - not her- The invader You didn’t withhold But you didn’t invite either I gave her my words too She read, fed, and bled I stood still In awe of my Words I rewrote I rewrote them again and again But she couldn’t play Fear had bound her soul Some of my words reached her Then, she decided To kick me OUT She expelled me from hers And expunged me from yours She tried to push me far away I stood in silence and ~ grieved ~ Your lighted steps Became a plod Her concern Entered into rage I put myself To rest In my Savior’s arms Written by Trudy Schrader on 7-6-10
