As I Lay

SharonMoemise

As I lay
By Sharon Maria Moemise

The signs of time edged on my face
the rivers of sorrow leaving my being
As I lay in state, awaiting oblivion
the stars above to erase my suffering

Prayers ringing for my soul to rest
Tears dripping, memories flowing
A black cloud turning to white light,
beckoning, whispering my name
I'm ready. I relent and loose the fight

Silence... No, it's Angel's song
I float like a dry leave on a cloud,
arms stretched, awaiting acceptance
I'm on my final journey to deliverance

A tribute to one who fought and lost
My heart is still, my soul set free
As I lay in Glory, I hear you cry
I leave you with a love that will never die.

          Sorry it has taken me so long to get ariund to this one Sharon, but it was well worth the wait! I've been waiting for it since you mentioned it last in a comment. This is a topic I write about frequently and perhaps it is no wonder then why I feel a connection to it - but while anybody can write, you have a talent that goes far beyond words on a page, you bring your works to life and I am grateful that you share it with u so that we too can take the journey with you in each piece. Well done! 😀 xx
