DRYING IN THE COLOUR OF THE EVENING SUN

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

FRAGILE – SIMONE KOPMAJER

 

I look as fragile as a bird

my words flow gently as a stream

my thoughts as soft as cloud-filled dreams

yet my heart still aches for truth to be heard

 

People underestimate me

think I will bend to do their will

I may be silent; I may stand still

yet I stand strong as any great tree

 

What they say and what they do

may suck the joy from everything

weaker ones will follow them

their darkness makes them shadows

 

The path I chose so long ago

was not an easy one

but chosen when the angels shone

and breathed new life from head to toe

 

I may have died but I returned

to be among the living

Friday's child is loving and giving

I was given that gift from Heaven

 

Each day I'm challenged to the full

each night I sleep under bright stars

I name them simply where they are

touch light they give so I don't fall

 

Sadness makes my illness worse

I increase my medication

I find relief in meditation

try to remember all I'm worth

 

Now I am looking out for my friend

we are coping bravely through it all

the gift of life; the gentle fall

of rains that lift us; we will not bend

 

I may look fragile; his heart was broken

but it beats more strongly than before

my spiritual journey opens many doors

and carries more weight than their words spoken

 

If ever you find you took a wrong turning

there are a billion stars that burst with light

and so many angels that hear our plight

that ease our hearts; increase our learning.
