Eclipse Series : Pt. 7 "Missing Moon"

 I am smothered by the darkest of nights

My moon has vanished

He turned away from me

Spun out into another time and place

Another star has replaced

His brightest light

His hope and source of life

He always thought he was my opposite

But really we were just lop-sided, 

Never really making a match

As I tried to be his catch

But he had a different type

And a different life

He desired

From the fire

We found

The fire

That burned me to the ground

Now I see him in the distance 

Burning brighter

And higher

Than he ever has before

While I lay on the cold, dark floor

Dimmer somehow

Without his reflection showing me how

To shine as my true self 

While he hides in the shadows offering me help

His presence emboldened me 

The ties that bound us made me free

Now I'm shackled by the night 

Imprisoned in the daylight

Watching him rise and set over and over again

On someone else's horizon

Why Can’t He Breathe?! A Mother’s Cry

Knees gripped, Teeth gritted Huff, Huff, Puff, Puff Bear down with all your strength Push! Push! Push! Forcing life into existence Break and breathe Cry and heave Grip and grit Huff and puff Push! Push! Push! Ring of fire burning me alive Flesh tearing as your blood mingles with mine Grip and grit Huff and puff Bear down baby C’mon…push lady!

To hear you...catch yours too… And I wait… To hear you… Silence...resounds… As I await...your voice… The lack of sound… Uneasy noise… What’s wrong? Why can’t I hear him? Where is his birth song? Is he breathing? Why can’t he breathe?! The longest seconds of my life Were as I waited for you to breathe Begging God to blow His breath Upon your need Then up you were held In the spotlight of glory! Covered in our flesh You shouted your victory cry Declaring yo...

Glorious Sunset in the East

As I watch the sun rise brilliantly in the eastern sky I can't help but wonder if today is the day my heart will cry  My gaze belongs to the east  Where she lies  Fighting to breathe Yet pleading for release  Will her sunset be as glorious as this sunrise? As bright and blinding before my eyes? As she gives up the last of her earthly ties  And on the wings of the angels she flies  Golden light that breaks free across the horizon  God's Son light reminding me she is one of the chosen  As she passes from life to life there is no more precious a moment  At this sunrise time has stood frozen  Spirit and body now at ease  As they partake of the celebration feast  My Meme and Jesus Oh, how my heart's breaking...over that glorious sunset in the east
