As is the night falling
A deepening sadness
Lowering me to leafy mulch
Floor of the well I'm arriving
Surprised I hear soft music
Stroking my brow
A Helper watching over me
His arms collect me ere I drown
The Rescuer lifts me
Flying towards the stars on ink
Laid on a pillow and bed
Healing hands tend my heart
'No more sinking and dying, He says
'I will love you always,
and never let you down.'
I have his promise I believe
Breathing in, breathing out
Rest upon his warmth
Bad dreams into his care I give
Release to him the thorny torments
Breathing in
Breathing out
Smile at him
Who breathes life
Author Bio:
I am an amateur writer and I have been involved in a writer’s group called Quirky Quills for the past four years. I have had devotionals published in an anthology, Penned from the Heart and the Footprints magazine, plus a travel article published in the Sunday Mail newspaper. I recently had a poem entitled ‘Suicide’ published in The Mozzie anthology.
Many of my poems are cathartic or helpful to others relating to my background of severe abuse. As a Christian, I believe God has healed me of torture and trauma. I hope by writing to encourage other women to believe that healing is possible and that life is worth living. Overcoming the past has been a long journey for me. I am currently preparing to present a short play this Christmas. Playwriting is one of my goals and I hope to continue learning all I can to improve my writerly prowess.
