Emotions of My Soul - Part 2

It surely wasn't the first time 
and definitely was not the last
cascading down upon me
drenching my soul so very fast

Perfect orbs of wonder 
searching past my blue 
holding true emotions
reveal a being that is you

It wasn't trust that I was grasping
or love I wished to steal
I was living in your goodness
and life's meaning I could feel

A wholeness to this madness
a dagger to kill the pain
held up for just a moment
giving a heartbeat to the strain

Wash away this darkness
shed light on a gasping soul
spill your aura from the heavens
the one for whom the church bell tolls

When the sparrows break the hilltop 
and encircle the waning day
be the one who listens
to the treetops as they sway

Malloncollie days sometimes come around and like you I have one today and it might be the book I'm reading Fablehaven by Brandon Mull

Really not much sadness, just reflecting on a rainy day. Could be the book I'm reading "The Prettiest Feathers" : )
