Find me...

Tears, falling like raindrops
off my cheek into a pool
of poetic words that lie
on the floor gathering dust.
Drama is like an outlet
of emotional baggage
that I carry wherever I go,
never leaving the universe.
I free the onslaught of energy
that plays my heart like a fiddle
never bound to one care
I try and flee from the agony.
Pain drapes my being
like a silk linen cloth
dipped in water, clinging.
I peel away the layers of hurt.
I raise my eyes to the sky
as if a bird is going to
envelop me in his wings
and carry me away.
No such luck today;
I get something better,
the Lord wrapping His grace
around me, I AM FORGIVEN!
