Deep in my soul is a longing
seeking a place of inner peace
truest sense of spiritual belonging
gathering of self; scattered pieces
Singing dirges of loss ...
Calling my weary soul back home
parts misplaced in the journey of life
how many miles have I roamed
answers found in my nightly flights
Singing a hymn of hope...
Heart ache of love needs tending
self-reflection in a blue teardrop
messages my dreams are sending
enlightenment on a mountain top
deep in my soul is a longing
gathering of self; scattered pieces

Ah yes, inner peace.....indeed sometimes one's dreams interfere with that inner peace one is seeking. We keep looking and looking, and sometimes I wonder if it is possible to find it. I appreciated thoughtful poem, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteI resonate with this poem so much. The search for inner peace is lifelong, impacted as it is by subsequent losses and healings......your poem is beautiful, songs of loss and hope.

Beautifully written, Truedessa. I love your contemplation and introspection in this one. I really liked this image...
ReplyDeleteparts misplaced in the journey of life...
This is what happens as we age it seems.
I said "poem" but singing a poem generally makes it a song.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. I hope you keep singing the hymn of hope.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you gathered those scattered pieces of self and created a reflective poem from them, Truedessa. Keep singing!
ReplyDeleteSometimes poetry brings me inner piece, but it also brings strong emotions, sometimes passion or even anger
ReplyDeleteWhen I started writing it was out of need now together with reading it brings me the peace of mind I craved.
