Cover Me: A Journey

26 December 2011

Cover me with darkness,

Hold me on the edge,

Let me drift where

I must be,

'Til I can land,

Where e'er I need,

My heart is fully

Broken,

My body aches

From

Stem to stern,

My soul cries out

To let it be,

And bears what sadness

There might be,

Alone,

Within its core.

Some silent

Force,

Must come to me,

To heal me

From within;

I've lost my faith,

In all there is,

Even in

What I can see.

So let me go,

And let me be,

To live life out

In peace,

While free

To breathe

Upon despair,

Until the end

Is clearly seen.

I cannot find

The end.

Is it somewhere here

On earth?

Could it be a refuge

In this life?

A place of calm

And hope?

A place where love

Might safe exist,

Where hope might shelter

From despair,

How would I know

When I am there,

Could I arrive

While unaware,

And yet enjoy

Its fruits?

We'll see.

Might not hope

Exist alone,

Within there,

Without form,

Intangible,

Upon its own accord?

But holden to

Us all?
