Indigo Silence

i feared the innocence of indigo silence,
            it swept away my inability to voice my verse-
i tried with might so fierce i could not see,
        and in this moment of feeling worse 
i start to see the free inside me;
always knowing what was meant to be-
                a life without the strain of debris

     not once have i walked a path of vain,
for i count not kindness, just give away-
so why then does pain not recede
            when shadows creep in disarray-
for this woman has but one need,
    go to emerald fields and plant love’s seed;
when starvation calls life… i shall feed

            feel me in the cool brisk of a dying dawn,
sense my spirit in the dusk of a raven night;
       believe i can be more when failure calls,
have faith when i call onto the lord’s light-
   as the reverie flows over the waterfalls,
i feel stuck in a room with one hundred walls-
              on the brink of solitude, my soul hauls and bawls

            when i come to terms 
                       with what i cannot become,
   may my flaws transcend 
                into what cannot succumb
