Falling Silent

 Take me out to the trees
I need space to breathe
when emotions feel heavy
there’s an ache in my belly

I can’t seem to find words
there are no nouns or verbs
my heart needs to be strong
it’s hard for me to say so long

Take me to where hope takes root
finding new trails, alternative routes
amongst the tall scented pines
sudden rustling of leaves, a sign

What’s going on, poetic guidance
a time of change voices fall silent
 seeking spiritual alignment 

Take me out to the trees
I need space to breathe
when emotions feel heavy
there’s an ache in my belly

I can’t seem to find words
there are no nouns or verbs
my heart needs to be strong
it’s hard for me to say so long

Take me to where nature calls
a hidden sanctuary with no walls
oaks and maples changing in color
new adventures waiting to discover

What’s going on, poetic guidance
a time of change voices fall silent
 seeking spiritual alignment

What's Going On? Is closing it's poetic doors
after this week's open link.  I wrote this to
try and express this loss of community.

Thanks to Sherry, Mary, Susan and Sumana for all their hard work in maintaining a community for poets to write.  You all have been supportive to my creative wanderings. This is a new poem my way of saying good-bye.

Brightest Blessings
