A tapestry of emotions
is weaving through my mind
a banner of colours
needing to unwind
The dark red of anger
leaves its path of hate
inter twinning with depression
not a pleasant personality trait
The blues of hurt and fear
silently seep into the rest
causing an emotional pattern
not really quite the best
The deeper silent colours
of guilt, shame and broken pride
appears in the art
while trying really to hide
Through the years of pain
the tapestry has grown
to an overwhelming complex picture
still not all of it is known
For the front of the quilt
is what we see
and what it shows
is not really me
Under the colours
you should know
is a little child
wanting to grow
One who really wants
to learn to trust again
and not hide behind a smile
and play - "Let's pretend"
But a girl who wants
to just be free
from all that plagues and binds
to just be me
One who can laugh
when laughter is near
one who can jump
and play without fear
The colours of my life
have woven my fate
without thoughts of the girl
trapped within the gate
From inside I cry"let her free"
but the tapestry is there
and the emotions won't let her be
Unwind; unwravel
unwind you art
you evil warden
from me depart
Leave the child
with in me to grow
for beauty once again
may she know.

beautiful lovely lady..... i have seen many changes in you.... right about now i think you're like a butterfly cocooned, getting ready to fly!
our god is a god who beautifies the desert, changes all negative into the most beautiful positive and endlessly works to turn around bad into good.... i think you will look back in a couple of years and be astounded to see what he has done for you and in you....
there is no shame for you - just your redemption and healing being peformed in front of our very eyes.
god bless you x
what a beautiful poem , with beutiful words xxx
What is there to say, Rev, my darling? I love you so much, as do many other people, and you're often in my thoughts although we've not even met. Your writing is tremendous. It's beautifully written and what makes it more so is that it comes from the heart.
There's something profound to be said about things that come from the heart like that. I wish I knew what it was. :p
Love you lots!
