In that space
all by yourself
I try to reach your hand
Left alone to ponder life
Locked away
Isolation
In a small room
With a small doorway
You cry
And your tears hit the ground
One by one
They splash into the pond
Created by the depths of your despair
I call out your name
And try to break the reverie
Of your mind playing tricks
Telling you secrets you thought were yours
But in fact they belonged to someone else
I tell you
You are not alone
I jump
And I shake
I create a nuisance
In my attempt to get you to see me
To recognize me
To pay attention to the words
That I string together
That I paint on a canvas
That I lay down on a page
A page that is white and crisp
Clean
Ready to accept the truth
You are not alone
You were never alone
Not one single moment of your life…
Of any life
Remember
Remember the feeling of love
Of connectedness
Of protection
Of life
Reach for my hand
I will take you
I’ve been here before
And I know the way
I won’t leave you alone
We shall walk through the small door
Out of the small room
Hand in hand
And the journey we take
Will be guided by love
The most awe-inspiring love
The kind of love
That will take you
Home
Blessitude

The photograph was taken in the Lobby of the Ritz Carlton, Marana Az. I don’t know the artist to give credit…it was 3D…made out of silk fabric…almost quilt-like….Absolutely Stunning!!
Beautiful words, my friend! Reverie is an apt title too! The art does justice to your words while contrasting it at the same time as in the imagery is so clean and stellar, my favourite lines were
“In a small room
With a small doorway
You cry
And your tears hit the ground
One by one
They splash into the pond”
I can not ‘almost’ but very much see the picture in my eyes! Love for you, Lorrie! Hope you’re feeling healthy and happy! <3 <3 🙂
Oh my friend…thank you so much for your beautiful words and heart felt support! Yes…doesn’t it feel like a small room with a small doorway? No room for expansion…stifled by fear. But we can walk out of that small room…through that small doorway! Much love to you <3
Yes, sooner or later there’s always a way out. 🙂
Hugs! <3
Especially beautiful! Peace! ~Dennis
Thank you Dennis…I am so happy it spoke to you <3
That almost looks like a quilt!
It was soooo beautiful!! The photograph barely does it justice. I wish I knew the artist to give credit to…maybe they will somehow see this post and respond! Thanks <3 Hope your day is full of love!
Your poem is beautiful and the picture only enhances its amazing beauty and soulfulness Lorrie…thanks for sharing!

Thank you my love!! ♡♡♡♡♡
What you do with words and angles and colors and configurations and all that beauty stored up in your heart, Frederic… blows my mind. Just had to interject. My apologies, Lorrie.
Michael
Incredibly powerful and moving! Made my day!!
I LOVE that Kirt!! 🙂 You brought a giant smile to my face and to my heart!! Thank you <3
Thank you for this loving pause in my day Lorrie. Awe inspiring 🙂
Oh, Val! What a beautiful response …Thank you! In turn, you gave me a loving pause and I am grateful <3
Your poem took me on an amazing journey….I can’t stop staring at that picture…the picture and words are a perfect pair!!
Thank you Julie 🙂 When I thought about what photo to include this one just jumped into my brain…I don’t know how I knew…and I can’t tell you WHY I think it is so…but it just felt right. I’m glad you thought so too 🙂 I was so shocked when I got up close to it and saw that it was fabric…I had thought it was a painting! Hope your week is wonderful <3
Wow! An intensely beautiful poem!
Thank you so much!! I remember my motivation when I originally wrote this poem…but now I see so many other layers. I’m happy you stopped by <3
A touching and heartfelt piece, Lorrie. I found myself hoping the person would reach back for you… It is obvious you have something important to tell them… 🙂
Michael
Thank you Michael <3. You are very astute…I was praying for this person to reach back for me for I felt their pain and I knew I could help ease it. Now I read the poem and see others I could easily be speaking to…perhaps myself included 😉 Thank you for your warm support…I appreciate you!
The picture reminds me of reflections in a pond seen by some one through a blur of tears as they fall. Re-blogging to spread this message of hope and comfort.
Oh, JoAnne! I don’t know if that is a universal “vision” but It Is one that is etched in my memory! I have seen myself reflected in a quiet pond many times…and I know of the ripples created by the tears. I am certain tears were falling as this poem was written. I didn’t understand why the photo went with the poem…now I do! Thank you so much for your kind heart and beautiful words! <3 <3
Reblogged this on Anything is Possible! and commented:
I’d like to go back in time to the beginning of this century and give these words to the me who despaired so deeply. Re-blogging Lorrie’s beautiful poem to spread the comfort and knowledge that you are not alone and there is someone who knows the way out offering a hand.
Dear JoAnne…how I wish I was there to offer my hand. What a beautiful community we have…I am sure we all have this wish…and now we are here and my hand and heart will always be open!! Thank you for sharing my love!! <3
Simply majestic and beyond proper praise and description! <3 <3 <3
Thank you my dear friend Natalie! Your words warm my heart <3
Thumbs Up!
Thank you!! Glad you stopped by 🙂
Beautiful.
Thank you so much…I’m so happy it spoke to you! 🙂
Your poem is as stunningly beautiful as the art work you paired it with. So full of love and compassion!
Oh, Tiny!! Thank you so much for your beautiful words!! They bring a smile to my face this Sunday morning 🙂 Have a wonderful day filled with love <3
