Those Kind of Days

In those kind of days
That do not feel quite right
Feelings swirl in empty ways
A heart holds onto the night

Rise up my friend, take a look
Let the air to the skies, clear your mind
Move forward like the gurgling brook
To see what you will find

The water sparkling in front of you
Meanders to lead the way for now
Let go, a walk will bring you through
To the other side somehow

In those kind of days
That can be so difficult to face
When heaviness lingers to stay
With longing to be some other place

Take a listen to the music
Write yourself a pleasant note
A reminder to read and to pick
A positive affirmation to float

In your mind or written on a stone
To know, to have and to hold
My friend, you are not alone
You can let the day unfold

Thank you very much Darren. I also noticed we were recently on the same wavelength. I wrote a poem called I have flown above. (it is about painful experiences), but the theme was like one of yours. I may put mine in at a later date. Have a nice day :)

An uplifting, encouraging word for the heavy of heart. I always remember we literally can't see what's around the corner. Blessings, Heidi!
