Pleading

Gather words to me

Strength against the storms

Bending my clouded mind

Erasing precious memories

 

Words of comfort

Enfolding my fragile frame

Tortured by defiant pain

Wrestling with imminent death

 

Words of love

Binding my fractured heart

With rope from strands of steel

Anchored securely in your mind

 

Words of hope

Tattooed on wings of healing

Settling inside the sun’s centre

Burning new life into my soul

Love it, the imagery is dark and delicious with a sensual flow of emerald words emotions spoken through the melody of your words with a harmonious undertone of emotional transformation such simple things changed and twisted by your words to create something more.

Love the arc of emotion here, you always write from the deepest place.

it's been a while! - I missed so much on my break - this is such a great write - love "bending my clouded mind" - such a strong write - imagery dark indeed - but that little taste of hope - the words - the tattoo on wings of healing (nice!) - and perfect closing line! bravo! nice!

This is a beautful prayer confessed in the darkness... calling for those words that lift and nourish the soul. Powerfully written, stirring the soul to smile.

Beautiful hope, fluent phrases, dear Marianne. Seems you're on a floating cloud wrapped in sweet calm and smiles. You'll be writing happy happies in no time, 'Burning new life into my soul' and, I'll be so thrilled for you.
