I woke up at that morning
And something didn’t feel the same
You were gone but somehow
I didn’t feel a thing
Peace and serenity
Rained all over me
And for the first time
I felt that this drowning set me free
In the midst of chaos
In the middle of grieving
I looked inside and realized
That’s when I could finally start breathing
I put my hand on my stomach
The other one on my chest
I could feel myself inflate with love
And for once my mind wasn’t such a mess
So I sat and prayed and I
Hope one day you find yourself
But for once I sat and prayed for myself
And for once I asked myself for my own help
I thought it’d take months or years
To finally set me free
But when I meditated I saw
The person in control was me
Accepting you were out of my control
In fact I noticed everything around me was
So I opened my window and heard the grieving
The morning sound of the mourning doves
They were mourning our love
Closed the chapters and we said goodbye
And although I’m clean and content
It doesn’t mean sometimes it’s not hard to get by
But there was no fear in my future
Just safety in the now
There was no worry where’d I’d be going
Or questioning or wondering “how?”
I am safe & I am loved
And with every morning came the truth
That the sun and that my chest still rose
Even without you
My hands were still hands
And my feet were still feet
And nothing around me changed
But for once I felt complete
And something didn’t feel the same
You were gone but somehow
I didn’t feel a thing
Peace and serenity
Rained all over me
And for the first time
I felt that this drowning set me free
In the midst of chaos
In the middle of grieving
I looked inside and realized
That’s when I could finally start breathing
I put my hand on my stomach
The other one on my chest
I could feel myself inflate with love
And for once my mind wasn’t such a mess
So I sat and prayed and I
Hope one day you find yourself
But for once I sat and prayed for myself
And for once I asked myself for my own help
I thought it’d take months or years
To finally set me free
But when I meditated I saw
The person in control was me
Accepting you were out of my control
In fact I noticed everything around me was
So I opened my window and heard the grieving
The morning sound of the mourning doves
They were mourning our love
Closed the chapters and we said goodbye
And although I’m clean and content

There was no worry where’d I’d be going

This was phenomenal I read a few of your earlier poems the first one I really related to, as Friday was my final class for my degree and no one to celebrate with.. so that among other things are what really made your first poem resonate with me
ReplyDeleteBut this one ... ���� Reading that one and then reading this one you see the progress you have made and are making as a Writer, poet, and artist! Progression in anything you do is important and you're showing it in your work.
This recent poem is phenomenal seriously I love this here " I
thought it’d take months or years
To finally set me free
But when I meditated I saw
The person in control was me"
