Cannot Hold Me Back

~ Vanessa ~ Leave a comment

I write my best work
At 3 am,. or 4 or 5
Before the sun light has made it’s debut
When life and distractions cannot hold me back
When I feel most with my heart and soul
And the pen has all the control
I write my best
When I have space
To reminisce,
To reflect,
To contemplate
The past and future
The present now
Now the Moon is present
And she knows my soul,
My thoughts, my secrets,
My loves my losses,
Now I am most here
With myself,
To be myself,
And to find who I am
Today

Winter Solstice

Winter darkness envelopes,
In thick smokey blankets,
The chill is deep and braces bones,
And in the splendor of white snow beauty
There is irony,
In the fear and loneliness of a winter abyss
That is so breathtaking,
And the Moon and sun see this
and shift their positions in the sky,
To warm and comfort the anxious
Lifeforms on earthen ground below,
And moon grows larger,
Glowing,
For longer light as the sun is farthest away,
“No,” whispers a silent voice
In the pitch,
“I’d never leave you,
Not that way”,
And so twinkle the diamonds
Of the sky,
the Moon lights the way,
As round the sun we go
