Song of the Valley

He Soul shines with Love

Love has many forms

Tears, Scars, Joy and Creation

Just to name a few

Thoughts often block

True Love

Jumping into the

crashing waves

My thoughts

are cleansed

Love whispers

It does not shout

Allowing space

for me to scream

and love responds 

softly

All is well

Be at peace my Dear

Covering my wounds

I am delirious

from changing winds

My reflection ripples

as the illusion breaks

But I have been here before

and will return again

The unspoken truth within

My fickle heart forgetting so easily

Seeking easy answers

simple solutions

But looking at flowers

on TV

is not the same

As growing them yourself

Releasing control

of time, change and the future

whispering back to my forgotten Love

Ancient source of all

Beneath the gravel

Lies the deep 

My tears seep through the dirt

Connecting with the wisdom

Beneath

Beneath the winds, the snow, the rain

the hurricanes, the storms, and the floods

Shining like diamonds in all I see

The pillars of virtue rising above the 

rats and mice

Echoing in the valley

you can hear her 

soft melody

of dreams and peace

Inspired by NaPoWriMo Poetry Prompt #18

Find a poem in a book or magazine (ideally one you are not familiar with). Use a piece of paper to cover over everything but the last line. Now write a line of your own that completes the thought of that single line you can see, or otherwise responds to it. Now move your piece of paper up to uncover the second-to-last line of your source poem, and write the second line of your new poem to complete/respond to this second-to-last line. Keep going, uncovering and writing, until you get to the first line of your source poem, which you will complete/respond to as the last line of your new poem. 

I used "Tissiacks Tear" by John Muir
