Where I Am

We played in sandcastles made from falling mistakes...
The water washed away all my sins it could take...
Precious tears that dried before the pain went away...
Now only floating among what never really fades...
Paper clipped to my soul like a reminder that makes an imprint...
I close my eyes to a darkness that was only a hint...
And drift away down a stream to land where I belong...
And scribe tales of love and loss in my own song...

So wonderful our sins can be washed away, certainly would be a heavy burden to carry around. Great poem Michael, hope your book sales are soaring!

That first line really reeled me in, Michael-- I like how you used that metaphor-- yes sometimes the current may not be too favorable but it leads us to where we are--wonderful ponderings here, Michael-- btw I'm not sure but methinks it needs an extra 'p' in paper-clipped & oh shucks, hope I'm not too late to greet you & Rosanna a wonderful & lovely Happy 15th wedding anniversary! Continue celebrating the love :D hugs to you both! Sorry I am not here much....
