My Secret Wounds


 


As the days is winding down


In the Southern Hemisphere


All I feel inside of me is fear


Feelings not so gentle deep within


As time


Walks with me through the night


The burning tears of my eyes


And the yearning of my heart


Feelings not gentle to embrace


I try to heal my secret wounds


With gentle sounds of music


But the sounds


Of my old grandfathers clock


Tells me


It’s almost time to go to bed


And as the break of a new day comes my way


I try to tuck my fears away


Within my deepest wounds


And when the sun


Comes out to show his face


And to bless another day with grace


Only for a moment


I would see


Your face


And without reason


I cry

Tinka,
The only good that has come from your brutal treatment, is the refined way in which you can describe the pain, through your talented pen...and the due reward it has brought you.
My heart is unto your own, a comrade and a confidante.

Praying for your deliverance, sis
Much Love& Hugs, Rhonda
