Secret Places...
starlight
I know that you have traveled down a dark and treacherous road...
At times you could not carry, that painfully heavy load...
You wondered why you had to walk the path you walked at all...
Where was love when the lights went out and your heart began to fall?
You learned to run and hide from what had happened in the night...
The only way you could survive was to forget your plight...
You buried it deep in your mind where no one dared not go...
You spoke of it to no one, even you forgot to know...
Pretending all those years that everything inside was well...
Trying to live a heaven you were burning up in hell...
It was improper to speak of such things so they were just ignored...
Somewhere deep inside you always knew it in your core...
It plagued you like a sickness that was always ever there...
Just beneath the surface always smothering your air...
Like a knife that stabs you in the back it was hard to get a hold...
Like a winter freeze that stranded you out in the bitter cold...
Until one day it began to stare you dead straight in your eye...
Emotion overwhelmed you and you finally began to cry...
By giving what had long been silent a voice to speak the truth...
You took away the power that darkness had long held over you...
Process your pain and anger...acknowledge all that you fear...
Take back your own true nature, and all that you hold dear...

Once again… great truths…
Great lessons in the reflections…
misty just reading… beautiful and effective to help others see this light.
When I come to Nashville if I can make it through Chicago and on any of the planes I am to catch through all the secruity guys, pilots, and the rest of the I know people as well as the loney and the bored on the plane. If I can then get my luggage back from wherever it really goes and find Nicole in a crowd, find the car again, the roads near to your home and maybe the driveway of your home and so having had an exceptionally fortunate day,, I will hug you once and for all time my friend.

oh star, my beloved star, you go deeper and deeper into the secret places of the heart and spirit with you poems and songs. can't wait to sing with you!
my eyelashes have just been cleansed, thank you…
Dear Janak, thank you for that link…it is in those secret places, where fear hides, that strength and love is…when we take off the mask, the realization happens…lots of masks! lots of realization! LOL…
thnx for stopping by my friend…love and joy to you*
Lee! Welcome to my blog~so nice of you to drop by and share your thoughts…
I thank you for your kind comments. This poem was actually written for a friend that is experiencing some painful memories right now…and for all that have walked this way…and at some point in our lives, I think we all can relate to feeling alienated…even if we don't have traumatic memories, just growing up in a healthy home can be difficult and painful for many…
I think the minute we bury it, whatever that it might be, the pain grows around it, so something very simple can and will become something very traumatic and complex…the reason the pain grows around it, is b/c of the fear about facing it…when we allow fear to take a hold, it just increases b/c that is it's nature…but when we stare it down…it is unmasked for the illusion it is…LOL…what a trickster
love and joy*
Robert! You are coming???!!! How wonderful for you, Nic and all of us here!!! What a magical time we will have at Zennie's and his sweet partners house who have agreed to host this event!
And I will hold you to that hug! I love hugs! You can tell a lot about a person by the way they hug you…Zennie has a good heart hug…he is a heart person…so am I…the trick is not to pull away, but allow the energy to decide when it is complete…GOL (giggling out loud)…
much love and joy*
Thank you Nicole…I love you too! Tell me, what type is your voice? Mine is contralto…love and joy*
My Dear Janie…you have such a tender heart…much love and joy to you, always, star…
So beautifully written, Starlight. I so love happy endings.

Thank you! Wow…twice in one evening you grace my blog! much love and joy to you, always, star…
I am a contralto too! Imagine the warmth of our voices joining together in song, dear one.
Omg, she has done it again! Our goddess of poetry, shining her sparkling starlight on every secret corner…no dark spot will ever be able to evade her magical, healing poetry.
Thanks, lovely poetess for always leaving me with stars in my eyes and my whole being in open mouth wonder…..*shakes head in more wonder* Still in awe of you quickly you could write a poem in perfect rhymes………..you're a true inspirer who gets inspired with just a word……………so thanks for being inspired to write about “Earth dancing around her Prince, the Sun.”
Deep bow, hugs and smiles.
yes, my beloved will be in Nashville too, though he keeps threatening to get lost in Chicago en route LOL! I am taking careful notes on how to hug you and Ben, my star. :):):)
Nothing like some hot Jazz on a cold December night.

you guys and gals are sumin else! much love and joy to you all…
Nic…ur a contralto too! that is very rare…i have never met another contralto…(don't think u have to worry 2 much about Robert getting lost…he's thinking about some 'hot jazz'…lol).
Amy…I'm trying to picture you with your mouth hangin open…too funny!
Robert don't get lost…wear a sign that says ”here i am baby…come and take me”…
LOLOL!
Wow—responding first to the poem; it is just amazing. It feels healing as you said, for anyone who feels they have anything they buried rather than handling….hey, is that the whole of humanity?
I am so pleased that you like it! and yes, the whole of humanity has much healing to do…
much love and joy to you…always, star…
