Laying in complete darkness
Lacking shadows and movement
Stillness surrounds as
Tears fall from my eyes
From being surprised
Laying in darkened day
Lacking light to see the way
But seeing brightness shining
Illuminating the way
Laying in the darkness not
Knowing but hoping day to
Come, your smile I found
Your comfort I sought
Your hope I grabbed hold of
Just praying the tears of sadness
Never to return but for
Tears of joy to create
Rivers and streams
From puddles found
In darkness from nights
When days were never
Thought to come

Amit thank you very much for stopping by and leaving a comment I appreciate your readership and time!
Sadness reflects the size of the well that once was filled with love. Nothing stays the same for long. One day, when sadness leaves the well, the walls will be larger, stronger and more able to love again.
I read your poem today, on the 2nd anniversary of my brother’s death. It helped to bring old tears to the surface, where they belong. Now they’re in the light, they can start the job of healing the unmended wounds. Thank you so much for touching the dark with your words, and leaving room for light to return.
I really love your take on my piece. God works in mysterious ways! I pray your healing is peaceful and thank you so much for you absolutely lovely comment! I appreciate it so much your words are more than kind they touched my spirit!
Very nice piece! Thanks for sharing.

“Tears fall from my eyes
From being surprised”
Beautiful words..tears comes out when we are touched…
Rashmi – yes tears definitely do come when we are touched and I was deeply touched when the tears fell. Thanks for your comment! I appreciate your time.
Nostalgic. Reminds me of a poem I had a while back, and it also brought back memories of a love I once had. =)

Fantastic write! I loved that line, “darkened day” – it sets such a vivid image in my mind.
A.B thanks! I definitely thought I was creating an image when I chose those words. Happy new year friend! thanks for your time you’re very much appreciated!
Beautifully written.
I love the words:
“Laying in complete darkness
Lacking shadows and movement
Stillness surrounds as”
Well done.
Linda, thank you so much! happy new year my dear!
It is so obvious to me that sadness can, at times, produce great beauty when it has be felt, processed then expressed by an artist such as you. Blessings in 2011, my dear.
Victoria your words are always more than kind and make me smile and feel appreciated as an artist trying to better my craft! thank you so much for your kindness and compassion! Blessing to you as well!
What a heartfelt poem, Peaches. I sure hope those tears of joy return again for you.
Hoping all’s well Peach Dear.. 🙂
I know this feeling.. I have lived this life in span of months many a times. The last time it had turned me into recluse.. My writing re- invented me..
It is heart breaking to know that people undergo such strong emotional phases.. Just be strong and pray!!
I wish you loads of happiness and joys for this Year and every year thereafter..
Wishing you a beautiful 2011
Love n Hugs

It starts out sad, but I can sense the happiness in the end. It’s comforting to release emotions by crying, isn’t it?
