Only God Knows

Written by:

I’m healing

Here

Not nearly knighted sainthood,
I’m just skin, soul and bones.

Who are we, in all truth?

We’re souls bouncing off ribs and brains.
Dreaming you’re back
won’t do the deed.

You’re on a greater plane
and I’m left to remenisce.

I’m doing great.
My mind is the clearest it’s ever been.
But
dreams drag me down
to gentler times

We were unafraid
leaving our screen doors unlatched,
opening our windows to feel the wind
as the chimes do.

Do you remember this, too?

Do you miss this wherever you are?

Only God knows.

Somehow, I’m finding peace in that.

    Living like wind chimes in a world of unlatched doors… you do your healing in such tender places.

      Thank you, John 😊🙂 my brother !! I’m so grateful for you 🥲🥹

      Healing in tender places
      no grandiosity
      mingling with four walls and bedsheets
      Tears fall
      cleansing my tired eyes
      and relieving my busy mind
      I’m happy
      Still
      Feeling anything at all
      is a good day

    Indeed, only God knows! In His providence, every breath He knows, within His love the breadth He holds!

      Yes!!! God’s presence helps a lot during great times and trying times. I know he’s sent me people that were destined to influence me and me influence them. He’s sent me support whenever I needed it and even the thoughtful friends in all of you on this site . Sometimes I become so overwhelmed with the love in my life, it actually hurts. I know that sounds bizarre but I mean it in a good way. Thank you, Warren . I appreciate you !

    Beautiful poem. It’s always tough to say goodbye and we never quite know what happens after someone passes. But all we can do is hold onto our memories and try to find some peace.

      Yes, that’s one thing that absolutely helps. As we get older, we start fully comprehending that others are aging with us and growing to meet . It’s a massive process for me to come to not exactly accept it. I know it happens and I accept it but to fully cope with it. My mom has been struggling lately and doctors are trying to find out the cause. She is not dying, there are just some issues with falling and mental confusion. Lately, when I call, she’s been sounding more coherent. ( Which is a huge positive) It’s just like that. Life is beautiful and also very scary at times when you love people and get close to them. I am grateful for you so much more than I can express, Linda. You’re a great friend with great advice and an outstanding outlook on life and inspire me to keep growing as an artist and soul. I just wanted you to know that. Our chats always are enlightning. When going through things, even though I’m happy and doing well, it’s nice having such great friends to chat with . Thank you

        Sorry to hear about your mom and how she’s having some issues with her balance and mental confusion. Hopefully the doctors can figure out the cause and she can get the treatment she needs. It’s a stark reminder to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones. I’m so glad our paths have crossed and I’ve enjoyed our conversations too. I used to always enjoy poetry in school as I love how there are different ways to interpret something. Many of your poems have resonated with me and I always look forward to trying to figure out what they mean, or what some of the takeaways are. Agreed, it’s always nice to have a friend to chat with! By the way, hope you had a wonderful Easter.

        Thank you ☺️😊 it was a really nice Easter 🐇🐣 How was yours ? Mom is doing better, no longer confused, thank God. They are adjusting medication and running more tests . Things take forever but I’m glad that there’s progress . I always enjoyed poetry in school, too. I learned to really love it from my Uncle who has passed a few years ago, uncle Bill and my mom. My mother’s poetry is out of this world phenomenal. I enjoy your existence, Linda . I hope you enjoy your week . Thank you for your kind words and support always ❤️

        Glad to hear that your mom is doing much better and that you had a wonderful Easter. We had beautiful weather and were able to do an Easter egg hunt with my nieces and nephew, which was a lot of fun. Take care.
