Drowning in Silence

in these final loud wounding hours,
the sunshine like a rainbow so dazzling
through my open slits, I can serenely depart
agony in the iris of my weary eye
bubbles floating up I tenderly sigh

sleeping where the purple iris lay still
rousing now to sing a silky song to her
buoyant yet strong faith swells in her heart
the silence is no longer a toxic weight
a fish will nibble me, for I am the bait

ears no longer ring from her anxiety
naked body touching white silk cloth
no more fears judging like a blanket of bricks
can injure her spirit, her unblemished soul
relaxing now she can rest and just let go

 

Note from Author: I will be off line for about a week. I am having a hard time with an old cervical injury that happened via water skiing. I will miss each and every one of you but I realized I needed to get some treatment and I hope you will miss me as much I know I will miss each of you. Sending love, hugs and blessings. Joni

  4. Sweet Joni…my Lord. I am so sorry You are having problems and hope You feel better soon!!! I wish we lived closer…I’d offer a hand. Between beautiful Scott and all the Angels around You I know You are well cared for! You are so very in my heart!!! Sending lots of Love and Light Your way!!!

    This poem is so sad, sweet and lovely. You know, when I was in my early 20s I had a dream that I was drowned. It was actually a murder….but once I let go it felt just exactly like Your poem says. It was SOOOO peaceful and crazy beautiful. My soul flew upward and I sat on the water’s edge watching my body float down. I haven’t thought of that dream in a million years. You sooo completely nailed it.

    AND last but NOT least….THANK YOU sooo very much for the wonderful review!!! You are TRULY generous beyond measure; an Angel in Your own right. Both of You are. Sending huge hugs Your way and the dragons are bringing a chicken soup tonic for Your back that smells like fresh lavender on a silky, summer morning!!! Love You bunches!!! 🤗💖🐉✨🧚🏽💝😊

    1. Oh thank you for sharing that dream with me, how kind of you. I have come close to drowning twice. It wasn’t pleasant I was young both times. I am glad your dream had a more pleasant ending. Isn’t that strange just how real dreams can be.
      Katy thank you for all your kind words. I will get twelve injections tomorrow in my upper shoulders and on top of them too. They are cortisone injections and I will be a bit soar but then I will feel so much better. Thank you for the soup and sending the dragons.
      Yes, you are right Scott will take wonderful care of me. Mostly I need a break from the computer it is hard on my shoulders. By the way lavender is one of my favorite smells. What a lovely gift thank you.
      As for the review I simply told the truth about our experience. We had such fun. Our grandchildren will love their copy too.

      I wish you lived closer too. Who. Knows maybe we will find the perfect cabin in the hot springs area. We are still looking hard and getting things done to this house. The goal is to give most everything away like you did. I love that video. Sending you so much love Kind Katy. You stay safe. Love you bunches. 🤗💕❤️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🌺🌺🐉🐉Joni

    1. Oh thank you so much. I feel so blessed to have met so many wonderful people on line. Thank you for your warm wishes. After my 12 cortisone shots tomorrow I will be a bit sore but then I should have a lot of relief. I did this about three months ago and what an enormous difference it made. I have a good neurologist who listens to me. The computer is hard on the neck. So glad we met my friend. You have an amazing and inspiring week. Sending lots of love and hugs your way. 🤗💕❤️🦋🦋Joni

    1. Dear one so much closer than far, thank you Cindy. I appreciate all your kind words so much. You are such a sweet soul. I had this done about 90 days ago and I don’t like being on steroids at all but the other choices are so much more invasive. My surgery is twenty years old so there is a lot of pressure in C1 through C 3. A water skiing accident. The shots really help but I will be sore a few days. I am so grateful that I will feel so much better. Thank you so much really Cindy you truly are a bright light. Blessings to you my friend. 🤗💕❤️Love you Joni

  14. All the positive energy & love sent your way Joni, makes my heart sing. Get that much needed break to heal. The poem is intense & beautiful. Your fairies will assist in your healing & give your husband breaks, so he can be strong to help you relax & mend. Much love always. No peeking at this post until you are stronger & the injections have time to do their work.
