Dare I Breathe? Dare I Hope?
Poetry - Hope, Dreams
A little slow and off at the beginning, but it's been a while, so I'm not devastated! Free Verse. And the slow unveiling of a distant dream and a woman fights to breathe and to live....and most of all....to fly.
Zin
Dare I Breathe? Dare I Hope?
Dare I breathe? Dare I hope?
For too long now, the page has been stark white
A bloodied wound begging to be healed
A barren soil with no fruit to nurture
Those tears that have fallen,
Have been shed in empty woes
For not a word of it has been drawn
For anyone else to know
Deep within I feel her rise
Dare I breathe? Dare I hope?
Like a dream I look to the paper
The white blinding my soul,
But within the light, I see a shadow
A hand reaching, slowly stretching
Trembling
Dare I breathe? Dare I hope?
I look to the pages that all came before,
Weaving this world with words,
But not a one do I see,
nor will I find
For this has remained
Within me.
Dare I breathe? Dare I hope?
The long, delicate fingers
That reach out of that light,
Bend and they twist
And dance once more do they!
Oh, what ecstasy! Oh, what a delight!
I feel her move.
I feel her rise.
No more to remain
Only with me,
She raises her head,
It's her time to live!
Raise your head, dear Rain,
Hold it up high!
For here, sweet Rain,
I dare to breathe!
I dare to hope!
And so I dare to fly!
And when I fly...
So Will You!

Poem, Despair and Hope, Religious, "Listen - A Note From God"
"Listen - A Note From God"
In the darkness, I hear a scream.
It echos through the night eerie and cold.
What pain does this voice hold.
What darkness does this soul try to keep.
What is your fear child?
Darkness cannot harm you.
For darkness cannot penetrate light
And you are surrounded by the light!
Why do you cry child?
When the wind kisses away your tears.
And the birds sing just for you.
And the water laughs in delight because you graced it with a glance.
Why do you stare at the sky with longing in your eyes, child?
When you have wings on your back,
Soft and strong!
And the wind would rather die and never blow again than to drop you.
Why do you not laugh, child?
When the squirrels do their acrobatics just for you.
When the flowers dance at your biding.
When your laughter would create life.
Why do you stare at death, child?
When Death is the one who envy’s you,
Who turns his head, because life has embraced you and he cannot touch you.
When there is so much beauty and wonder before you, just for you, child.
Why do you not run, child?
When your legs are strong, your heart is pure.
When the deer await you, to bound with you, to share in the joy with you.
When the wind is at your back and God awaits you with open arms.
Why do you not smile, child?
When this place with all it’s beauty was created....
Just for you.
Why do you stare into the holes in the ground, child?
When the clouds are soaring past.
The hawk is calling your name.
And the wolf is waiting to walk and talk with you.
Why do you turn away and hesitate, child?
When heaven lays before you.
When love surrounds you.
When light shines upon you.
Sweet child,
You are who this beautiful world was made for.
Walk with Me and let Me show you it’s wonders.
Lay in the grass beside Me and let Me show you the stars.
Fall asleep in My arms and let Me sing you a lullaby.
Let the worries and the anger and the fear melt away.
For in this place, nothing can touch you.
I won’t let it.
I will keep you safe, daughter.
I will love you with all my heart.
I will hold you and dance with you and sing with you.
I will read stories and explore with you.
I will tell you how the world was made.
I will tell you how the angels can fly.
I will sing you songs that haven’t been heard for thousands of years.
And you will sit in My lap.
You will want for nothing.
I shall keep you close.
Just remember that before you come to me,
Enjoy My creations.
Enjoy My miracles.
Laugh, child.
Because your laughter brings joy to so many others.
I gave you life. It is My gift to you.
Make the most of it.
Touch others with it.
For in the end, your touch will be more important that you can possibly imagine.
