I sat in ash for many days
That turned to weeks and months and years
but then a light broke overhead
and burned away my many tears.
And hope which had seemed far away
destroyed my bitter castle walls
and broke down every door and gate
and threw to flames my many palls.
I waited not for an event
but for change inside
and when He speaks the monsters sit
and sheep no longer hide.
That 3rd verse…very well done. I really really like this
Shared on twitter…thanks so much. I really like this poem
I’ve been tweeted! It’s like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one! OK, so perhaps that is a bad analogy because those are probably my two least favourite holidays… but I think you get the idea none the less.
haha…i get it. I must confess i also shared it on Facebook…this one really spoke to me…
Wow… this is unexpected. Cheers to you and yours.
Cheers
Thank you. I was hoping the third stanza’s shorter lines would slow down the reader… but I am not sure if it does and of course I have no idea how many readers actually read the poem out loud.
the last stanza came across as powerful and deeply spoken with a slow release. I really liked it.
I am glad to hear it.
This is incredibly good.
Thank you Miss Veil.
Your poetry has a deep resonance for me. Thank you.
I am glad to hear it.
Shared on twitter, hope it gets the result it deserves.
Chris.
Much obliged. Cheers.

Thank you for saying so.
Beautiful. Very powerful. It says a lot about…well…about me!
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Very well done.
Sheep should never hide.
Hmm… didn’t see that comment coming. Thank you for the compliment of course.
