karen-champagne - Hello Poetry

In the storm of sailing uncertainty All in our own boat Riding our storm out Light is in the distance Blurred and faint light Edging closer Towards the shore The end of the monstrosity Of waves, of devastation Light seems nearer Then lost again in the clouds And the fog And the crashing waves The wreckage on the shore Too much to fathom Restoration is an unseen miracle Yet the light is near Having faith Gathering of souls Celebration and gratefulness Realization of what was lost in the wreckage Rebuilding our boat On to a new destination To better clear skies And calm seas

Like a silhouette in the distance Smaller and smaller Windchimes in trees with no noise Acorns seeding new trees And rocks in shapes of hearts Like wings soaring with no destination Seeking peace alone but not lonely Seeing the summer sunset with closed eyes Painting the landscape a beautiful shade Feeling the wind on your skin naked to the earth Calmness takes over in the hushed shhhh of noise The sweet taste of your own breath Smiling within but not for the seen No calamity in your thoughts just peace Calmness sets in listening to your breath softer and more shallow No tears or sadness just fulfillment No wounds to heal The echo of your own heart you hear inside your skin Until silence sets in And you stop breathing

In the end

Like a silhouette in the distance Smaller and smaller Windchimes in trees with no noise Acorns seeding new trees And rocks in shapes of hearts Like wings soaring with no destination Seeking peace alone but not lonely Seeing the summer sunset with closed eyes Painting the landscape a beautiful shade Feeling the wind on your skin naked to the earth Calmness takes over in the hushed shhhh of noise The sweet taste of your own breath Smiling within but not for the seen No calamity in your thoughts just peace Calmness sets in listening to your breath softer and more shallow No tears or sadness just fulfillment No wounds to heal The echo of your own heart you hear inside your skin Until silence sets in And you stop breathing

She is a prisoner in her own mind Spinning circular Hysteria rushes up in her As water flows over her Crouching fearful **** feline All her thoughts are a jargon The hourglass never being turned over Endless imprisonment in her own mind The seductress Her victimless crime Cleansing her body like toxin release Poison thoughts Her energy is limitless yet she cannot move Her heart her own warden Madness in her own mind But not visible to the outside Hourglass still in limbo Time is running out In her own mind She is a prisoner in her own body And in her own mind

Involuntary pain and sensation The emotional suffering of its goodbye Too chronic to articulate Seeing is not believing they mixed up the words Hanging on like my limb Pain in my heart, empty of blood I am cognitive but confused and euphoric I feel it, yet missing I see the hallucination of oneself Trauma to the heart I feel it. Yet missing The phantom pain You are gone but I still feel the pain

The rich and the poor The innocent and the guilty The beauty and ugliness of it When light becomes darkness The smooth and the pitted When lovers become repulsed When summer sun becomes autumn death I tiptoe into loud stomps Excitement becomes disappointment Sweetness becomes sour and **** Gladness shifts to sadness Like the scales of justice One has no control Blindfolded
