Carla Murray Poems

As I look back at my life, there are no words in my mouth, but there is now a sparkle in my eye that you must see. A skip in my step that was never there, and almost always a smile on my lips, keeping back the laughter held deep inside my throat, waiting to escape.

But you know that, don’t you? You realize this, as you are a wise man. I have found my way at last in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. For as I fell, you would reach out your hand and help me stand. And as I collapsed, you would lift me up, so I could walk again. And today, I can walk alone, and you understand.
...

Miracles surround me everyday
Through the beautiful clouds in the sky
To the green grass between my toes
And the splendor of a sunrise
...

Inside shadows and crevices live memories
Some live inside a veil
Some jump out and capture me in talons
While others scratch the surface reminding me they remain
...
