Thy Love O Self Rhyme



Posted: Saturday, June 05, 2010

by Robin Brown

Once upon a time now known,

A world was born from seed past sewn

From impatience held from mind once bound,

The key unknown has now been found.

I've wiped a tear from fallen star,

For the fear and pain is but a scar.
 
Once a deep breath was taken
 
The betrayal itself is now foresaken

And left behind upon the mind,

To remind myself of my love confined

Now within my world and no longer locked away 

Sensing heart once held at bay...

And now accepting fate my thoughts create,

Left alone to celebrate.

My days are now without that starkness of darkness
for they've been turned around

From once gagged and silenced, my love be found.

Thoughts once held without a sound

Now welcomed in, no longer bound.

Heaven now lives within my soul,

The diamond's free outside the coal,

As the cocoon of life now awaits its fate. 

It's the angel's breath without mandate

And entering with silence abating sound.

My fear is lost, a spark abounds

To hear my heart...
 
as my love to self has NOW been crowned.

You are welcomed Jennifer, I know this piece was and still is really cathartic for me. Writing is such a beautiful tool in healing the self, isn't it?
