"The Spirit Tells"

Here is another poem that I wrote that I wanted to share with everyone. I hope you like it.

The Spirit Tells

There are times I think my life's too rough.
I'm bailing out, I've had enough.

My mind goes wild, my heart wants to shout.
Just leave me alone! I've got to get out!

I want to end all of my misery...
But suddenly a chill haunts through me.

I stop and see a blinding light,
Piercing through the dark of night.

It's coming from my heart, you see.
It's the Spirit that's inside of me.

It comes in peace to calm the swells.
I listen to the story the Spirit tells.

It says, "Be aware of your feelings of love."
"They are a gift from up above."

"Be caring, be wise, use your head."
"Now rest your weary body in bed."

"Let the shadows of your past grow dim,"
"and let the spark ignite again."

"See your life for what is true..."
"Only then will serenity overcome you."

"Remember forever the ones you knew."
"The ones who took the time for you."

"Remember the sweet things that they said."
"Let the good thoughts fill your head."

"Feel the warmth from head to toe."
"Now close your eyes before I go."

"I'll place a kiss upon your heart..."
"As a promise to you we will never part."

"I'll be there with you in your soul."
"Rest my child. I now must go."

As I woke up and lifted my head,
There was a sheet of lace covering my bed.

And sewn in stitches of silken gold
Were all the memories that I hold.

And for each of the thoughts that no one knows
Laid a single long stemmed white rose.

A soft tear caressed my face.
A sigh put my heart in place.

The sun slowly warmed the day anew.
I promised my Spirit, "I will never forget You."

Beaming in the warmth of the morn...
My heart had softness... where yesterday's torn.

So love, and live, and remember, and care...
Just treasure all the time we share.

And someday when we meet above...
We will both know it was really love.
... or so the Spirit tells...
