Kim Schilling Poems

God took you from us yesterday,
While you slept ever so peacefully,
Waiting, anticipating your future.
A promising young lawyer,
...

Whispered in a soft warm hush,
Say not a word now little one –
A trembling heart brushes her tiny chest.
Tears are swept by wisps of blond curls.
...

Worn and torn, you've been through all,
Happily by my side since I was so small.
Intricately woven by hands that did care.
To me you were the perfect child's prayer.
...

A prayer and pills;
another start to the day.
Looking into the mirror,
several faces greet me –
...

Tender leaves capture
chill of the morning dew;
weeps not for those living,
but for the passing of life
...

Blood courses through her veins
As Satan spreads His vast wings,
Huddling His offspring together.
He wants this child like no other;
...

My body has learned by heart
What my eyes have long forgotten
Entrusted long ago with deadly visions
These entrenched dark and dangerous secrets
...

Fractured mind and soul
Tortures that went before
They are my bonding means
Weaving my pieces together
...

If tears made a sound, would they speak the truth?
Would love’s tears whisper sweet melodies?
Or mother’s mourn a banshee scream!
Surely tears of joy echo!
...

Dark chocolate velvet sleeves,
of soaring, slender cat tails
whisper gently in the wind,
as sandpipers scurry quickly,
...
