Come my Prince rescue me
Take me from the bonds that tether
I am weary of the endless search
The never-ending moments when all is lost
I do not want to lose hope
Nor do I want to forget
The moments when I craved freedom
The times you called and I could not answer
As shackled I was
In pain and desolate
In a land that had lost all sense of joy.
My prayer has been
That through the mists
The fogs that enclose me
You will seek me out
Find me before it is too late
For I fear the darkness may
Have its final say, and I shall be gone
Only a memory
A photo on a wall
A moment in time
When all was good
When flowers bloomed
The smell of roses was sweet
When I was loved
and all was safe.

Beautiful. I appreciate you recommending this to me, it came at just the perfect time, and in such a perfect way. You have given me so much courage and ambition to continue on with my writing. I cannot thank you enough.
Who knows? Maybe I will reveal some secrets with all the inspiration you have given me. (:
You are most welcome Lacey, come visit me anytime. Write when and what you want, if others read it great, if not it doesn’t matter if you’ve put your heart into it and you feel good from the exercise you put your mind too then good. If you have read Terry Pratchett you would know writing is the best fun you can have sitting down.
And laughter is a wonderful medicine. Thank you for reading.
Your advice is very sound. I hope to do right by you, and myself. I think I will be doing some big things here soon.
That will be wonderful. there are some excellent writers in WP, some of them comment on my work, which I find very humbling, but I would recommend any of them to you.You will learn a lot about writing from many of the good writers in here. Life is precious, you only get one.
Beautiful!
Thank you Jen, thanks for reading.
Really lovely!! 🙂 🙂

the beautiful artwork flows perfectly smooth with your poem. fills one with hope and love. ☺
Thanks Sun, that’s a lovely comment, I appreciate it.
