"My Soul cried out"

David Roman

"My Soul cried out"

Searching for someone to love I finally found my soul.
It fled from me so long ago a useless man I was.
I wonder where it went that day as I sat and cried.
Did it find a nice soft place to settle in an die.
And while it ran away from me did it care for me.
I missed my soul a noble thing too noble for my taste.
I a man full of hate struggled with its way.
For it was loving full of wonder at all that man could be.
And here I was a man confused that all I knew was hate.
I felt my soul cry deep inside of me.
And all I did was turn my back as he cried to me.
My mind to full of evil things that she had done to me.
I finally closed myself to all I loved.
And walked away from me.
I once did love an she did love me too.
An then one day she came to me and said I was a cheat.
I never did a thing to her to set her mind this way.
So there I stood with all this shame for what I can not say.
She turned her back on my love I offered her respect.
And there she stood with hateful words for what I can not say.
I stood my ground proud I was too proud to ask her why.
There’s the door my love, please go and come no more to me.
I hurt so deep I lie in bed hurt was all I felt.
I loved this woman with all my heart but cheat her…
she was my life.
All that I could do was lie in bed and cry and cry and cry.
And then one day the tears dried up an hate walked in the door.
Hate a thing so fowl its reaches deep inside.
Its poison try’s to kill your soul the one who loves you most.
My soul flew out to find a place, as I fought this thing.
It knew too well that I was weak and wanted to be dead.
So in it came and took its place where my soul had lived.
My soul looked back and said good bye for it would rather live alone than cry in bed each day.
My soul cried out you silly man its time to live your life.
But all that I could do was sit in bed and cry.
I stayed in bed for so long its sheets had long worn out.
An there I was with bloodshot eyes wishing I was dead.
I stood to take one final look, a look of hate for all I was, it made me look away.
For what I saw was not a man but hate before my eyes.
I took my time to crawl to my bed and say these little words.
Please lord help me find my soul its run so far away.
I prayed each day to the one who I had always loved.
And then one month a ray of hope came in my life I thought it was long dead.
I took a look and what I saw hate had gone away and my soul came back to me.

    Wonderful writing to accompany this beautiful flower David. Human nature and emotion is such an amazing thing – in the deepest depths of saddness it can sometimes feel that all that completes our being is lost ….

    Beautiful flower but the Soul of Nature must also undergo transformations…the birth, death and rebirth and each time it blooms, it is beautiful in a new way, a special way. Winter, like the loss of love feels so bleak and white. It literally numbs you. Then, like this exquisite flower…you find the Source! Bravo Monsieur!

  • David Roman replied

    Thank you Ms M an thats very true.
