Description Stark moment;
confused cocktail
of potent feeling.
Hope
nearly drowned
in despair
strains
to transfigure
into articulation:

Prayer.

Whisper of
silence echoes
in thin
places.

A sign is
asked; a sign
is given.

Leap of
faith slowly,
imperceptibly yet
irrevocably alters
landscape of this
existence,
inaugurating new
song, one none
til now could
sing; harmony
marking unseen
paths into
promised lands.

Thank you! Thanks also for your note; I will hopefully be able to write you back soon.

I was able to go to the post office to send your birthday gifts yesterday! I was very glad I found a box which was the perfect size...

I feel so bad I haven't sent your presents yet when you already sent mine
But it looks like I'm always unlucky and there were some things that didn't go the way I planned >< However I should be able to finally send them on Monday!

What a rollercoaster ride for you, my friend. Hope the future is bright like you say

Ah, the rollercoaster ride continues (people ask me why I don't like to ride rollercoasters; I reply that I don't need to ride one, as I live one...). But the poem is ultimately about hope and faith, and that's what keeps me going.

Hmmm...I'm intrigued. Facebook message me when you get a chance. I'd love to catch up. Oh, and I'll be moving into my new apartment in the next couple of weeks, so we should get together for lunch or something soon!

Thanks. I know that talking with you about writing so much recently certainly helped spark my motivation and inspiration to try writing something new again.

I love this. It has a lot of feeling to it. A lot of it speaks to me about how I've been lately.

Beautiful

(Ps just incase you've already forgotten you knew me as teenagedeathgirl13)

Good to see something new from you
