Pulling Back the Curtains

I . . . 
will draw back the curtains,
that hide what dwells beyond my sigh;
deep within where I keep the truth in,
                      for, past my beautiful disguise;
                      there is a heart and soul that weeps and cries !
I must and I will-  see my heart and soul free . . . 
LORD, how do I rid the debris?
Oh, do you hold that special key (?)
                        for, past my beautiful disguise;
                        there is a heart and soul that weeps and cries !
I taste the dark tears of my pain,
    and I am torn apart inside;
my wish is break the chain,
      where, I mourn all who have died;
                      for, past my beautiful disguise
                      there is a heart and soul that weeps and cries !
      Oh, look into the window for my heart and soul; 
      do I have a chance LORD-  to ever be whole?
my prayer to you-  is to fly high before I die . . .

Gordon Mcconnell Date: 12/21/2020 6:24:00 PM This is such a beautiful piece Constance, really stunning and such a blessing to read. I must look at more of your writings soon, by the way do you live in France? Your writing sounds rather French just like your name. I'm in Scotland. Have a lovely day, Gordon Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 12/22/2020 3:33:00 AM Gordon, thank you for the compliment on my poem, appreciate. I live in Canada and La France is actually my last name but you are sort of right as my father came from France and my mother from Quebec, Canada _Constance

John Lawless Date: 12/21/2020 3:39:00 PM Constance, a mentor of mine once told me that the veil thins slowly so that the pain does not overwhelm the healing. Very honest and poignant write and a final question many wrestle with. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 12/22/2020 3:35:00 AM John, thank you for commenting on my poem, I agree time does help, but I think it always lingers in the shadows till the end of life. And yes we all struggle with life _Constance
