Dark Thoughts

Lavender hues embrace my thoughts Bathed in silence, dipped in love Like a persuasive caress, urgent for The breathless passion that entices Burning away all the grief and despair Through a million years, tears so dark Penetrating, piercing, pricking my heart With a lost word, a lost hope, a lost dream Endless lessons built on hopelessness Colored in waves of melancholic dread My heart has felt the pangs of regret And it has also felt the music of acceptance I’ve known what it means to let go of love Also what it is to let go of the pain and fear Someday I’ll know what it is to let go of breath As long as I live, I’ll find ways to give From the depths of my soul.. joy, peace and hope Love that keeps giving from the innermost soul Where I always know that God will keep me feeling Alive with precious mercy and grace, tears of faith It’s only when I’m all alone and I feel His love That I can find myself letting go of the tears The ones I’ve held back – sometimes for years Holding back tears isn’t as easy as one might believe There is such release in letting go and letting God Wipe away the tears that fall from my eyes When I finally let go of the pain pouring down Cheeks who have been dry with a drought from Being unable to allow my feelings their expression Holding back tears is the only way to know If there could have come a day when I’d pray For the chance to let go and allow the dam to break Spreading the feelings in falling teardrops The ones that remind me that this pain will ease And love will dance once again… in the melody Of winds who whisper their joy to my spirit
