March 1st, 2013

I am stuck in a moment, and it is in a room; empty within my heart

The door beckons me to enter as i walk past it most days

But today i say yes to the invitation

I slowly slide the door across the soft carpet carefully placed beneath my feet

quietly, carefully, such as the door to a nursery should be opened

The tears slide down the skin of my inner heart

They leak out of the windows i open to let the release bring light to my dark

I stand alone

Watching my daughter

Caressing her cheek

Squeezing her tight to my breast

Kissing her tiny face one last time before they wheel her slowly, screamingly, silently

Away from my burning to love arms

Away from my dying to leak life breasts

Away from the warmth of a mother that cries to be needed

I should have known

There will never be enough tears sown in the month of march

So i will walk thru the month

Day after day

Wet cheeks summoning me

Lovingly visit the sorrow inside

Recapture the inner secrets of griefs lovely face

And then i stand up and walk out of this room, and out into the soft sun of spring

The warmth gently caresses my face and lingers close to my heart

I am loved

It is a kinder gentler love than i could have known had i never known the hard cruel pain of sorrow

It is here i take a deep breath

And i feel most alive, living my life like eternity is where i live and heaven is coming down to earth

Here i am free to run across an open field screaming- "For the king! For His kingdom!"
