CANDLE IN ME

Through the dark stormy clouds 

Came a vibrant streak of lightning flashing

Through the damp grey shroud of a winter mist 

Came a determined ray of early morning 

Through the dense green canopy of a close knit jungle
Came a hopeful trickle of light weaving 

Through the unfathomed depths of a lake standing
Came a persistent shaft of cool moonlight spilling

Through my darkest hour and deepest despair
Through my scalding tears and shattered hopes

Came a hand helping and shoulder consoling

Leading and guiding against pain almost blinding
Shielding the flame struggling and flickering

Of the Candle in me.

IN HER LIGHT...

She gave me love

She gave me protection

She gave me warmth

She gave me knowledge

She gave me survival instincts

She gave me the chance to cherish being a sibling

She gave me courage to face my fears head on

She gave me stern lectures to show me black from white

She gave me sharp looks to chisel me into a fine young girl

She gave me skills to become a strong young woman

She gave me encouragement to keep aiming higher

She gave me the power to bloom into independence

She gave me the strength to withstand pain

She gave me the wisdom to understand struggles

She gave me the patience to fight out my battles

She gave me the endurance to experience life's challenges

She gave me the ability to cherish the joy of giving

She gave me the chance to spoil her with  gifts and feel big,

She gave me a sense of belonging

She gave me a sense of peace and security

She gave me a whole lot more which I sense I havent tapped into yet,

A beautiful person,valiantly struggling with her own limitations

Rising willfully above life's rough weathering

Enveloping me in her beam of love and blessing,of protection and caring

Now and always..

She... My mom.

The Lull after the storm

Like spurt after spurt of water gushing
from  broken earth freshly dug up,
The eyes spill over with tears stinging
From an unspoken anguish freshly dug up

Like wave after wave of the angry ocean lashing
Unforgiving -like having a score to settle with the  shore
Wave after wave of  hot tears scalding
Unforgiving -like having a score to settle with the red rimmed eyes..

Like  thin fine lines on a  beautiful porcelain jar go creeping,
slowly breaking those careful shackles
To shatter that  fragile beauty into meaningless pieces..
A dull ache buried  somewhere deep in the heart goes creeping,
Ripping through that fragile beauty in wrenching sobs;
To leave a scattering of memories in meaningless shreds..

All through the raging storm..All through the howling unrest..

you wonder  why the earth doesnt stop gushing
you wonder  why the ocean doesnt stop lashing
you wonder  why the heart doesnt stop wrenching
 
And to leave u alone without a parting note
the sobs and the tears,the aches and the  pains,
All go away ,leaving empty ruins and dark tear stains
In seeming peace..
The lull after the storm..
