A Soul breaks like sunlight 
Between trees in a leafless forest
Frozen
they sleep

Empty forests
Covering the mountain side
Stumps and branches
Blown away by the torrential storms of life
In this forest there is but one tree
That’s survived
With one flower,
That flower’s withering
Away....
Each day passed, is another leaf fallen off the tree
Another limb paralyzed in the darkness...

As...

Souls break
Like sunlight between trees in a leafless forest
Forever frozen
By images of what wasn’t achieved
By those shadows of nightmared dreams
Petals from it’s flower fall continuously
Each petal falling whispers a prayer
Echoing loudly

As
Fluorescent glow outlines the nights
Stars of hope, reminders of beauty
Cast light
upon the gloom filled forest
Illuminated life

Like verses scribbled against the velvet heights
Refreshing a beaten Spirit...
As Melodic beauty hums down from the heavens
Inspiration’s brilliance shines
Each star, are moments memorized
Warming the hearts of these frozen, sullen trees

Memories
They're the aurora in our northern skies
Atmospheric phenomenon in our lives
They are
Stories washed up on the river banks of time
And the soul
breaks like sunlight
Between the  trees
Over the dawning...
A deadened forest
Finally breathes

And though words won’t ever suffice To communicate,  Clarify,  The peace I feel in giving you  This wrangled, broken heart of mine I shall do my best to show you What those scattered, simple note’s Song sounds like Yes, you’re the Beauty that keeps me reaching  The smile beneath my tears The hidden road pointed out to me after all these years; Your imperfections only add  To the light reflecting from your smile Your flaws -the cracks through which His Love shines  You’re the hallelujah  In my song’s reprise
