Grateful for once knowing

    Words slip. Sleep deep for so long.
Questions I want to ask yet feel I must
wait for new world for, to forget.

   Dancing in my room, everywhere I
stand I see images. Shaking head.
Retreat to nature to shred the
cries within me.

   Writing down the lost words.

   Stammer. Like to hug. Like to
yell yet the breeze calms me.
A tiny pat on my head, wings that
flap above me.

   Stunned to see answers before
me. Light guidance diverts the minds,
the thoughts.

   Careful for once knowing.
Accepted the lies. Hope somewhere
there was a real person.

   Distance I put those days. Remember
to remind self, temptation is easy. Walking
away is hard.

  Strength I ask, forgiveness I give.
Love I hope for and someone to give
I will be.
