poem: Take me to a Place
Take me to a place
where you feel no pain
where no one cries
where no troubles exist
Show me the path
that I need to follow
to find this land
where everything works
Can anyone hear me cry?
Because right now
I am so very lost
so very tired and broken
Forever searching
but my legs are weary
jaded and heavy
I cannot go much further
Carry me to this place
where I can swallow this pain
where I can rest on my breath
and start over again
poem: Plea
carry me up a rainbow
seizing colours drenched in soothing sun
hug me with a morning
freshly draped in shimmering dew
cushion me with floating clouds
blowing away all troublesome thoughts
wrap me in the glimmer of the moon
warming my night with a thousand stars
