"Today is one of those DOwn days for me...remembering my little girl on the day she died. This day 24th of May 20 years ago.
I wrote another poem but just could not post it!! 


*************
" Battlefield Of My Mind "


 

Wherever I wander

My mind is a battlefield

This is me

In a dream a song of solitude

Who does not know why?

Death has found me long ago

If words


Could fill this emptiness that I feel

In the silence of my dark

There would be

No other place I'd rather be right now

To embrace

My heart and mind

As I walk

My endless dream of love

Through howling winds

My heart returns to you

And it blows the will to live

Right back at me

And as I sail away in make believe

Make believe it's true

I return to the battlefield of my mind

As I go aboard my ship of dreams

I seek love without the pain

And on beautiful isles of ocean dreams

I weep in gentle sleep

And

Deep within

The battlefield of my mind

I wander
