I took the pall from off your casket
I’ve worn it all these years
It hides me from the many monsters
And soaks up all my tears.
But I have not gone on to make
Anyone quite so proud
I’ve hid and stood and born my pain
with nothing said out loud.
I wish that I could tell you something
Or show you something that I’d done
But I am choked beneath this pall
That once so hid me from this sun.
And all the years I might have loved
Or played to make the angels weep
I stalled beneath this pall of yours
And could not pray my soul to keep.
I do not know the way back home
Or maybe I have never been
But every search has left me hollow
Every fall and every sin.
I had so many questions hid
But now they seem to all be gone
And you won’t answer anyhow
and I will have to soldier on.
I feel a great wide heavy ache
And do not have a heart or tongue
And with the pall that I have worn
I know that I might soon be hung.
Très émouvant. Merry Xmas
Et pour vous aussi.
This is terribly heartbreaking–I am so sorry, and would wish you a blessed Christmas and New Year filled with hope and joy. Sincerely, Caddo
Merry Christmas to you Miss Veil.
I hope find peace, Soul. Merry Christmas to you.
And to you as well.
I’m sorry, Soul.
Merry Christmas
And a happy new year to you.
Awesome write! Merry Christmas and may your New Year be abundantly blessed with Joy and Happiness!
God is fully able and will accomplish what He desires. Of this I have no doubt. May we both learn to rejoice more in it this coming year.
Oh, and I put your poetry blog on the blog roll. It was long overdue. Sometimes I have technical trouble commenting on it (the word verification is “smarter” than me sometimes) but I really appreciate your work and will be looking over it more in the future. I look forward to new pieces from you in 2013. Cheers!
Peace my friend. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you as well. Cheers.
