Said silently

     A word for yesterday. A song sung deep
from the heart. A secret lullaby to soothe,
calm, erase pain from mind and soul.

     Saying over and over my beginning. How
just, I began. Oh how wondering ceases and
learning is everlasting.

      A warm hug presses on. Bites back
the icey tears. The memories are selected.
A prayer I say to remain neutral, no emotion
too harshly expressed.

     The pen and hand script thoughts across
blank, lined journals. My eyes close as
though writing from memory yet so random
are the words.

      So please say a kind word, sing a lullaby
to soothe, open my conscience to know difference.

      Slowly the sighs exhale the soul. Entering
lungs is the deep, cold air. Much needed inside
for the sharp stings diffuse all echoing thoughts
of loss, pain and waking hurt.

     Keen is the mind. So alert, aware of
yesterday. Learning is key. Prayer is a need.
Memories, moments to say goodbye to.
Holding only a hope, a dream that I
too can hold onto possibilities.

      This allows a sparkle to lighten
up eyes. Soak in joy and happiness. For
a smile to overcome any emotions set free.
     
      To finally say I do love. So nice to hear
                    said silently to self.
