Never Ending

 

As the waters rage into distant shores, I hear the echo’s of yesteryears.

Echo’s of a time where freedom was my salvation.

The wind blowing through my hair, softly caressing my naked skin.

Telling me secrets, that I would listen to all night long as I lay beneath the ole’ pine.

I lay there wondering if peace will ever return.

Then suddenly and comes before me, distressed and crying yet I see no tears.

A wall built around his heart from years of pain.

I try to speak but nothing comes out, as I lay there in confusion and fright.’

I stand to walk away, not wanting to feel anymore pain from another’s life.

I am unable to stand, he is holding me hostage as if I were chained to him.

Don’t let me feel again,, don’t let me see his pain as I can not deal with my own.

Don’t let him see my own fears, pain and agony stand tall and strong I tell myself.

But I can’t something is wrong and I weaken, hearing his words and feeling his longing.

For years I have shut this off, without a willingness to ever allow this to happen again.

Why now, why after all these years? It’s only been three years since my divorce, not now.

The winds whisper, listen, feel give into who you are. Allow him to come in, allow him.

My body weakens unable to fight off the sounds of his pleading, longing, yearning for love.

I know you he says, and have searched you out for years. Please help me, I need you.

Tears fell from my eye, he brushed it aside. I am not here to hurt you, just to love you.

Gently touching my face with strong hands, not letting me look away. My fear building.

You have heard my cries and seen my pain, and I have not asked you to, he said.

And yet I did not stop you. You are a distant vision in my dreams.

I saw you, longed for you, desired you and could not have you until now.

A dream that is never ending. Awakening and never finding the end.

Chasing and never catching. Who is he?

I fear each time the dream returns, never knowing.

Never wanting to find the end yet yearning to know the truth.

Who is he?

An astounding piece you've written from deep within your never ending dreams. *I stand to walk away, not wanting to feel any more pain from another's life* ... Sheer poetic beauty! Bear

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
