REUNITED I dream of a place
Where the water laps
The stinging sores
And heals the open wounds
I dream of a time
When peace surrounds
The shattered mind
And opens the tombs
I dream of a home
Where love embraces
The broken heart
And soothes the torment
I dream of heaven
Where the clouds reunite
My lonely soul
And my long lost children

Mandie, this is a heartfelt write filled with much emotion. You have a good rhyme scheme and area always careful that your rhymes do not come across as forced. The meter you've use gives this a gentle lilt that might not be noticed for the plaintive voice of this poem...however it is definitely there in its dance down the page. I would add my voice to yours if I could, you echo many of the voices of those who feel as you do. Excellent...Lora

Mandie, once again a powerful lament. Dreams; I have spent so much time in such that when I read your words, it reopens those times of need.
The cry is a lonely one; and those who contribute to the cure are often obscure and lacking the skills to bring healing.
This is a fine piece, and when it is read; there are many here reading- and walking the halls that are spent.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Mandie,
Such a melancholy poem. The last verse is almost too sad to bear. You write an excellent free verse...something I am still trying to accomplish. The loss of a child must be the ultimate grief. A superb poem.
Best wishes,
cheyenne
