Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops

Folder: 
And Time Goes By

I am adrift from myself.

There are no soothing drugs or miracles,

only the voice of a higher being

speaking of patience and the

glory of another day.



Forgive me, Lord.

I want more than another day.

I want to soar beyond the rainbow,

defying winds and storms,

with light as my companion.



I will not live in a circle of sameness.

I will submerge myself in fantasy,

and sometimes dream of real things.

I will create a new language

and call it Magic.



Making my way through

these years of my life,

I pray that my muffled screams

will be heard somewhere,

far beyond the rainbow.
