The Gentle Rising ~A Prayer and A Song~

By way of rain and inundations, I
have trekked through the endless
trails dragging the wispy ends of
broken dreams, towing misery

I come to the highest where great
are the winds that blow and come
to you, Great One for I have been
to fields of keening, longing for brio

And vapors in ease dissipate, yet
your goodness and your grace obliges
the stringent of my heart, and soothe
the cries of my lyre with songs of today

Let the sages of your wisdom gently
aerate over the ledges of my witty
reach down and be the salve to these
wounds of my heart, even so my spirit

Walk ever before me, O Great One
and be the rising sun of my mornings
lead me to the skies of comfort, ever
your compassion will walk before me

The gale winds of stealth be harsh
hastening away my essence, yet I ask
of you, O, Great One, to remember
in me, that always you are with me

Your goodness, and your strength
come down as unhindered waters
munificently flowing over the mountains
of my soul, filling fissures of my heart

This one is going into my favorites.. One of the best poems I've read on WritersCafe. Each line tailored to perfection. Not only is this beautiful and touching, this one is quite insightful as well..

Loved every single line in this one.. Especially the beginning :
"By way of rain and inundations, I
have trekked through the endless
trails dragging the wispy ends of
broken dreams, towing misery" - amazing.

There is always hope. Time will heal our wounds.. We will have to ignore the scars that will be left behind..

You are welcome :).. You don't have to check out my poems just because I checked out yours :). I review poems because I like them. I don't expect people to return the favor .
