The Scream

I hear her When, in stillness – peace, She surrounds me with her promises, Light, mist on the morning, hope Lifting away all the doubt, the darkness With a feeling, a soul stirring scream I hear her Beating, in rhythm – harmonizing, She echoes in reflections of sweet joy, Soft, erasing all the night’s stardust dreams, Inspiring me to give my best, my heart To the moments of laughter, the scream I hear her Dancing, in tune – waltzing, Breathing hope through the spirit, Singing as the leaves whisper, falling Autumn remembering summer’s hesitation To hide behind the beautiful, blood curdling scream I hear her When, at noon – cloudless skies Embrace the earth, tempting, satisfying Reassuring the soul that together with time We can arrive at our destination, our finish Pouring out forever in the spirit’s the scream I hear her Gifting my heart with light, intense Feelings so gentle, so giving, so willing To agree with second thoughts, the secret Hopes flooding, flowing through the brilliance A love that agrees, passionate, a scream I hear her Like melancholy and memory, singing The rich, cool alto – then soprano, notes Pure gold, God’s voice pleading with us all Nature, forever – endless treasures of hope Foreseeing the everlasting life, in the wildness of a heart – the scream, fading into destiny, graceful Like a peace that can’t be seen or touched The scream is anxious and floods the hopes With winds that blow through the oaks Satisfying the blossoms, the laurels and pines, Preparing hearts for reality’s chime, the vibrant highs Determined by the blood curdling scream of sunset’s trembling Blending with endless feelings… Blessing away the scream’s repeating over the ridges, Soundless, yet – still resonating such an ache Fleeting heartbreak, yearning for the peace that comes With the dawn, the serenity that takes Away the scream’s raspy voice, it’s exasperating grating The scream… it drains the wish from the dreamer
