The road I'm on...

[lonelypilgrim]

You’ll Never Be Forgotten
​

I wait and yearn with faith renewed for what tomorrow brings.
​

And cast an eye across the sky for swift and silent wings.
​

For you to come, my precious one is my desire I’m sure.
​

But how much longer dearest one must this weary heart endure?
​

​

There are silver threads among the gold that lie upon my brow.
​

And eyes that glowed with youthful light are growing dimmer now.
​

Though gold may turn to purest snow and fleeting youth depart.
​

Neither time nor space can ever erase this love within my heart.
​

​

Each night alone beneath the stars I make my wish anew.
​

Although I now you’re far from me, I walk and talk with you.
​

I send my thoughts in swiftest flight, in hopes that they will find,
​

Across the distance of the night, your heart attuned to mine.
​

​

To tell you that I love, though a year has come and gone.
​

I’ve tried to quench with wounded pride, this flame that lingers on.
​

So listen closely to the wind, and hear my anguished cry.
​

To hold you in my arms again, once more before I die.
​

This is a poem I wrote in 1990 and published in 1996.​

I breathe in...

In the meadow; in the sun
My heart calls to you.
Among the flowers and the grass
Amid the sparkling jewels of dew
I lift my face up to the sky
Feel the wind upon my cheeks
The warmth of the sun light upon my face
Your love surrounds me
I breathe in
I breathe out

Pilgrim
my feet are now on unknown soil,
surroundings are strange to me.
it seems i should know where i am and where to go,
but somehow my thougts are far from me.
lost in theis place that has no time nor space,
mazes of pathes i must trod.
where must i go, which road leads me home,
to the arms of my God which i seek.
Find me!
Hold me!
Free me!
take this pain and the questions away,
wipe the tears from my eyes.
say to this pilgrim whose body is numb,
my child, you have come home.

Rain
Tears that fall like an autumn rain,
Silently tread over this face.
Inside I ache and tremble with pain,
For fear I will never find my way home.

The storms of my mind,
Change all that I see.
Pain and my dreams are entwind,
In a tangled web of lies.

Truth is the same,
For it never can change.
But I can't find the Truth,
In this mind full of lies.
