The sun has broken another horizon
and the light doesn’t play favorites
I’ve been up all night, once again
discerning just what is really best
I know I seem different somehow
maybe because I’m wearing sadness
And yes, that’s shadows in my eyes
that I just can’t seem to hide, anymore
It’s why it’s so hard to face you now
that alone makes me, feel like crying
Words just seem so hard to find
in moments like this here- this time
But words will never change the time
of doing what has to feel like is right
Me- being a storm of loves disaster
instead of your, welcome sunshine
Girl, I think we really always knew
somehow deep on our hearts mind
And we were just playing along
filling up empty time in our lives
I think we’ve both learned hard
what love is, and this really isn’t it
Mending those pieces of ourselves
as we slowing relearned, acceptance
But- I just have to save my heart
from making another broken mess
Saying goodbye, always hurts
but I know, right now it’ll hurt less
So- I leave you here alone today
instead of waiting, any longer, girl
until you do it, in some… tomorrow

Ascribe
Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

You make this look so easy. You use words has if there a treasure that has been found and yet even a bit sad but so beautiful.

Thank you. I believe beauty is always present to be seen, even in our sad events. Much like that ‘silver lining” optimistic people tout.

Unexpectedly, I particular liked this line – because I would have thought that when one learns the hard way, one usually learns what love isn’t, rather than what it is.
Thought-provoking as usual, Poet. Well, well, well done.

I revised that line a couple time until I settled on this version for just that reason. Thank you much, Ben.
