A Letter to be Sent

I wrote a letter today....

I wrote this letter with smooth black ink. As my pen ran across the page, light as a feather, I smiled. These words, they soared with thick black wings. They danced effortlessly in a line, with such graceful rhythm. I wrote with joy. I wrote with a transparent heart. These words I wrote, held every possibility.  “Who cares what they say”, I told myself. My heart found peace, in the words to be read. A sigh of relief escaped my throat, I was happy. No longer would chaotic thoughts be held captive, in this jail of a brain. My thoughts were free. What liberation.  

Temporary Hope:

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel that anything is possible

How could this be, when just yesterday I was masked by fear

Perhaps it was lack of faith, in the only one who comforts my soul

Perhaps it was my selfish thoughts, I cannot escape but

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel I can go anywhere

But is it just a lie, will I feel the same tomorrow?

The feeling seems so temporary, like the direction of the wind

The feeling seems so surprising, as if it were the first time I felt alone but

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel that God is on my side

This fact I cannot deny, and I never will

Why though, does He make it so hard to see sometimes

Why though, does He make it so hard for me to feel His presence but

Today, I feel hope

Today, I feel hope

Today, I will leave it at that. 

An Ode to the Sea:

It was long ago,

when I heard the call

Where I would belong,

above else and all

A heart for the Ocean, 

a passion for the Sea

I knew exactly,

where my soul would be free

Not on solid ground,

where aching feet walk

Not in the sky,

where birds squeak and squak

For neither of those,

would make my heart smile

The Ocean alone,

will make life worth while

So free and so fresh,

is the sweet coastal air

Shifting and changing,

i’ll have no other care

Not a soul will realize,

when i leave land behind

For on solid ground only,

most eyes are blind

Still this won’t matter,

i will swim like a seal

Only to prove,

That Mermaids Are Real.
