In This Moment

I implore for vulnerable salvation As time tries to convince me It will never happen I wander through cobblestone streets to find balance. Wishing upon wishes to feel a new tenderness And I hope to become more than a glorified lyric Where love only remembers the chorus But, not the beginning Nor the end How will this new sunrise Convince me that my smile WILL be above sedentary clouds When the storm has yet to subside? Can I be the winds for those who have broken my wings? Will I ever become a consummated verse with another? ... My smile Will find its way Oh, my smile...will find its way. ©D.J.E.

The first thing I thought of when reading your opening lines was the "Sound of Silence" song.. "in restless dreams I walk alone, the narrow streets of cobblestone" ..there is a melancholic feel to this one, I like it a lot. "And I hope to become more than a glorified lyric Where love only remembers the chorus" Love those lines... sometimes a simple smile can get us through. Sending smiles your way! Awesome poem! Always, Laura

:) Of course it will. You cannot do otherwise than to be the wind for those who broke your wings. It is in you nature to do so. SO...good to have you back. Hugs
