Rock Me Poem by Lyn Geist

*when the sunshine rocks a fuschia sky, and the blackness fades away,
I'll still listen for the echo
of the words you used to say.
Clenched tightly in my midnight dream is a hope for you and me,
Yet every painful breath I take brings a haunting memory.
A time when things were simple and laughter found its way,
A time when lovers held their hands and angels came to pray.
Silence is an enemy, and doubt will cloud the heart,
The peace of love is stolen, the heavens fall apart.
And in the wake of broken dreams,
I wonder once again,
If the wind will softly whisper,
If my broken heart will mend.
Please take away the eyes that see what might have been,
And blow away the falling tears that never seem to end. *
