The Journey – Grace Aloud

Playful Enchantment

Grace — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 01:33:05 +0000

To feel it again over and over
Your hand locking in
Like a memory unbroken
The touch of your skin
And the feeling assurance
Like I once knew

The beat of your heart
As your chest is rising
Softly it falls as your eyes see mine
Hearing your breath
As your fingers are tracing
The outline of mine

And I’d give in all to have just once more
To see your smile through that door
And I’d live it again forever a day
Right from the start when time wasn’t afraid
Uncertainty lies of the path our feet walkin’
But glad that the journey unfolded with you

The First

Caught in the present she was lost in the ocean of his eyes
Feeling comfortable she did not have to run too far
Sense of his security against her vulnerability
Still her heart skips a beat at his slightest touch
Her mind racing with thoughts of excitement and of rush
So innocent he moved till his lips came and touched
And everything she felt in that moment
Pounded to the beat of her heart

And it felt like the rain falling on her face
When she felt his touch and his embrace
Time chased
They were hiding
Hearts beating
She felt his breath
And they escaped for a moment
While the world did not rest

Was this how it really was she wondered
For so long she just wanted to feel
Life being breathed so deeply inside her
For once feeling alive might just be real
Not wanting to let go as time ripped them apart
If only everything could stand still
Longing to feel his embrace once more
A memory she would not forget walking out the door

Her Journey; Her Strength

Quietly she stands
Strongly rooted in her space
With all her efforts
Setting her foundation in place

Time passes on
Life’s river starts to flow
And soon the current pulls up
Right beneath her toes

Witness her strength
As she continues to grow
Reaching towards the sky
Where all her possibilities will show

Her Lantern

Grace — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 11:20:12 +0000

Darkness she felt
That she thought she once knew
On familiar ground
Still she’s finding her tune
Onward she goes
The light fading away
Still she walks on this path
Her feet numb to the pain

Can they see
The cuts running deep
Yet she hides the wounds
With her lantern within
Can they hear
The story in each tear
Of this land unknown
Will she find her home

A Father’s Sound

I miss those words so clearly spoke
When you had all the time to say them
How for granted one then took
Never thinking they would be taken
I miss the stories that you told
When you never had to say them twice
For then that time would just pass by
And journeys turned pages of mine

How ungrateful can one be
With a selfish thought in mind
That even though something was taken
Still something so precious was left behind
How wrong was it to long to hear
The sounds that you once spoke
For now when things seemed so unclear
Readily I’d take the step you took

I miss that voice your voice it was
One day I still wish for it back
But till that time comes round again
I’ll learn to love that which is here that we have
So short is time that we long for
So eager I wish to spend it
For when the time comes for another loss
I’ll know we did everything to defend it

Loud Thoughts Quiet Spaces

No one sees it no one knows
Behind her smile the fire that grows
It’s burning her so deep inside
Her heart turned to ashes she’s losing her stride
The more that life healed
The more her head would feel
Pain she felt familiar from before
Pain rushing in through the door
She tried so hard to shut it out
Locked it deep threw the key out
She screamed so loud but no one could hear
Her cry for help beneath her tears
How much longer would this last
Of what she really felt would it come to pass
She couldn’t show what it really was
But felt it crushing and sinking her into the floor
They said one step was better than none
So one step she took to finish the run
And in the end when all was done
Would they understand ‘goodbye’ had won

Hello…

Grace — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 02:50:06 +0000

Slow initiation words bounced off each other
For a moment two minds collide
The eyes they tell the stories behind
She wondered ‘Did he get curious about mine?’
Eagerness to travel through his thoughts
And patiently she had to wait
Maybe ’twas not time that was passing
But an opportunity she needn’t take
To risk it all was better than none
Not knowing how it would be
But when paths crossed again in time to come
How would they each sit with feeling free
Maybe ’twas better when one moved faster
And the rhythm didn’t follow the beat
So much still unsaid so much still unknown
Perhaps their stories were best left untold
