Notes of Life

Through the years, I’ve known my share of sorrow had my life shattered by cancer and death with days, when I couldn’t face tomorrow and dark endless nights, when feeling bereft I’ve cried a thousand tears. They fell like rain, again, and again, until nothing was left but silent screams, piercing through the pain deep inside my heart. There were times, I thought the pain would never end, and griefs refrain the only tune I’d sing, until I sought solace in poetry, music and song finding the peace and contentment it brought a refuge. My haven, in a choir’s throng and time with reflections, paper and pen was medication needed to grow strong in order to move forward – live again. Words and music stayed, when all else was gone and played a new melody. It was then, I found a voice, to walk once more in sun. © Janette Fisher 08.02.17

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
