On wings of sorrow I fall from grace

Sometimes we just get lost

On wings of sorrow, I fall from grace

Of life's perils, shortcomings

To the breeze I embrace my fate

Arms stretched wide

I hold all that is given

Taking deep within

Breath held

Eyes closed

I let the soft touch of the wind touch my face

Feel the warmth gently lap at my form

Embrace the breath of life that slowly moves through my lungs

My soul

Slowly the fire of forgiveness seeps through

Into my very veins, pores

Deep within all I am

All I was

Wish to be

Once was.

Pain can be forgotten

Sent to the outer core

Of existence as we know it

Yet memory is the enemy

Held deep inside like a dagger

Till we are bent in despair

Pain so strong, we are blinded.

 

"No more!"

 

I scream to the winds of time

To all above me

Under me

Before me.

Arms spread wide

I let go

Free as a bird with new-found wings

I slowly glide

Then soar!

 

I am freedom

Hope

Faith

Newness.

 

I am born again.

Amazing write! I really enjoyed this write.

[Art Sun]

Being born again does not neccesarily mean religiously...it is a deep thought and feeling deep within the Soul...to leave the past behind...completely ...and to grasp the new you...

this is a nice refection...inspirational...and thought provoking expression through poetry...

I do not belive this is a Christian piece but a sad soul crying out for the sad life to be gone and a new one to start..If we hang on to memories it cuts down on our chances to find true happiness..You knowing me..know I am also guilty of hanging on to old memories..love and God bless..Kathie

Lovely strong poem. We can forgive but never forget tends to apply to ourselves as much as it does others. Sometimes we have to let go of the spare luggage we carry within ourselves in order to live freely again. You stated this profoundly.

this is a great poem!! strong emotions rippling through - a sense of liberation towards the end - a cathartic fight back!! very nice!!!

[Patches I'm not so new..]

A poem more than hope this is a poem of accomplishment! despite the odds, despite the obsticals the persona has triumpthed! This Twinie is you in a "nutshell" You have once again stated the battle and have won it as you will always do for you are one determinined lady.
This poem flows well and to tell the truth it reminds me of the poem "Invictus"
by William Ernest Benley.
The scope and range of your talent is phnominal You will always amaze me as you have done continiously since we met.

There really was a good ending to this one. I liked the wording and the way it was written. Good job!

Ain't easy to find a better road. I volunteer for war to escape my prison. You are right in your words. You must challenge the ocean and climb to the highest peaks to learn how wonderful and big this world is. A outstanding ending to a poem with some good wisdom. Thank you.
