Boarded Church's.



I feel the constant struggle

To trust the instincts of the heart

In quiet moments in my room’

Looking out across the stars

It’s some kind of silent notion

It’s not the bone against my back

But shafts of curious light

Sometimes coming through the black



I feel the weight of fear’s

They are inner boarded church’s.

The dead ends and defeats

Of all the fights

And all the searches’

I dream of coloured hill tops

And crosses in a row

I see the wood go up in flames

And rising clouds of smoke.



The way that I reach out to you

Is not easy to explain.

Amongst the mess of feelings

It’s just trying to attain-

A sense of still and quiet

Against all the noise and pain

More intimate than quiet prayer

Beneath the surface of my frame

I agree with Dylan.  It is

I agree with Dylan.  It is not as easy as everyone thinks to convey images, memories and feelings in the reader's mind like this poem does.  Well done.

This is a wonderful poem.

 I’ve read most of your work here today, from the latest pieces of art to this bit of your heart. This poem caught my eye and then every other part of my being. The sense I get from your words is the aesthetic of a literary mind which practices such feelings in her writings, that the pictorial, musical, and developed textual ideas came bursting off the page.

Peace

Dylan
