SOLO I pray, I pray- this midnight hour As coldness wraps its hands of dark Between the warmth of once held passion And evening sky hung clear and stark. I see, I see- my mad misfortune As wearied mind recalls the drear Between the halls of contemplation And best intentions deemed wrong and sneered. I walk, I walk- with eyes now clearing As sheltered child grows bold and brave Between the doors of love’s restriction And opening freedom so hungrily craved. I hear, I hear- with all soul’s sadness As wailing cries plead their course Between the heart that knows not compassion And one that could not ease up on its force. I speak, I speak- in quiet whispers As timid schoolgirl, though inwardly strong Between the words that once were spoken And some through silence- a brand new song! I sigh, I sigh- in relief of decision As twinkling stars glow their gifts from above Between expansive earth and heavens And all in between; flies remembrance of love. Lee O. McGee 10.2014
