A Power Within

Stay and Sleep

I can hear him sleeping
I can hear the storm
it’s fierce ebony clouds
scudding, it’s yellow flashes
spend themselves against
my window pane.
Trees crashed, branches fell,
and my heart no longer knew it’s way.

Still he slept, his
gentle breathing at odds with the
violence, that shook my soul,
Can you hear the storm ?
is it inside your realm
is it beyond your pain
is it beyond mine.

The sky lit and intruded
into my domain,
It’s clear shadows against my walls,
a dark mark against my heart.
Wake and listen
do not enter that sphere
no, stay and sleep
quieten my province.

Stay and sleep…

    May the storm stay outside awhile
    May the storm subside for now,
    If we can’t find a door,
    we can’t get out.
    May you find a door…..soon
    My Best Jewel.
