Fearfull, but Hopefull
Folder:
1999 Here in the darkness I stand
And a tear
Slowly rises up, to become
a star
trembling
in the sky that leaves me
with awe.
Why do I stand here shivering
in the darkness
thinking about
what has happened
And the fact
that I can
stand here
looking at my tear-drop star
and almost imagine
that nothing has changed?
Because I am frozen
in time
And the cold
Brings me comfort.
But as the darkness slowly fades
along with the sky
and my fearfull, but hopefull, star
It is light again.
I am back.
Things may have changed,
But I am still who I was
And I still have everyone.
And home,
is still
home.
this is one of the most amazing, expressive, real poems i have ever read. I have felt this emotion many times... after I was healing from being molested, trying to cope with my father's affair, and now, after losing a relationship of rather long standing. Thank you for sharing your talent. Please, do this beautiful but sad world a favor... keep writing.
