[bodytext] => At this very moment… Beneath my low and calmly voice— Beneath the smoothness of my skin Dwells the madness of such raging waves From the bitter waters within. Waves that crash against my helpless shore; Against my soul’s own misery— Against the sand that can’t rest in peace Oh how troubled is this sea! You cannot hear its angry roar; A roar of a million screams Five hundred thousand tormented wishes And the same of starving dreams All wanting to dine at the table of peace And to drink from its hope, so new And oh, how I’m dreading The pleading THE BEGGING Of them all just wanting to come true. They are moaning and groaning And crying and trying To find a way They all can be free- They bring me to shame When they yell out my name But it’s not me… It’s NOT me IT’S NOT ME! Still, I carry the blame in the arms of my mind And my heart, it carries such weight; Useless cold bricks of wishes and dreams Waiting, just waiting for their fate. The screams are too loud. The burden is too heavy. And I am too weak to stand. I fall and I cry, “DON’T YOU SEE THAT I CAN’T?” Yet this whisper replies, “Yes, you can.” Pain fills my throat, and I feel I can’t speak My tears won’t let them be free— The words that I need to somehow escape; They’re my prayer. My hope. My plea. “Help me.” I mutter these words in my weakest time When drowning are wishes and dreams Lost in the waters so cold and so raging-- Yet silenced now are their screams. Their plates have been made And their cups have been filled With the promise of peace that hope gives To calm such a soul, To love such a soul To hold such a soul, it will. And now, at this very moment… Beneath my low and calmly voice— Beneath the smoothness of my skin Dwells the peace of pure and soothing waves From the serene waters within.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
