Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Free Spirit

As the world seemed to fall apart
With pain  breaking the heart
I found comfort in an angels arms
     as the night faded
      I fell inside my 
           dreams.

The gentle whispers flow
 on the midnight wind
 Where sadness remains
    no solitude found
      only the wind
      whispering.

The happiness always seemed 
just beyond my reach
 the arms just held me 
    giving strength
      upholding my
        despair.

As the gentle hands caressed
it soothe the aching heart
the storm that raged inside
   soothe and calmed
     and slowly 
         subsided

As we held hands in silence
we drank from each others spirit
and in that loving embrace
      my spirit 
        became 
          free.

Phyllis Babcock October 15, 2011 at 6:58 PM I think we all have times when our world seems to have fallen apart on us. Letting go and living to the fullest is hard. I am sorry for your sadness and hope you find that free spirit within yourself. I guess no one said life is easy. take care

Carolyn Devonshire July 30, 2011 at 5:43 PM Oh, this is lovely, Phyllis. It seems many of us are thinking about angels these days. If only we could make real contact with them, we truly would be "soothed and calmed." I haven't been online much due to health issues, but was really upset to hear about your car. Insurance should pay for a good replacement vehicle, but often it doesn't come close to covering the cost. Best wishes in the contest with this beauiful poem! Love, Carolyn
