The Missing Pieces

The Missing Pieces

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

I'm searching out an answer Yet drifting like a feather on a lake

I've got pieces of the puzzle But no idea what it'll make

My heart desires completion While my mind runs round and round

The picture isn't clear yet So I watch without a sound

I take in what I see Both present and the past

Looking at the patterns Wondering how they last

I can see the connections Each instance and it's task

But not the reasons why Nor the name behind the mask

It is an aria without sound  A drum without a beat

It's presence ever haunting  Yet just visible like summer's heat

Oh give me back discernment  Oh Master of the sky

Open up my hollow vision  To see where my enemy lies

Guide me to missing pieces  Make the picture sing

Come close enough to feel you  So I'll hear your whispering

And when I the fog lifts away Help me then to choose

Lift the weights that paralyze And free me from my cemented shoes

Mystical Morning

                                             Mystical Morning

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

Pink misty sunrise at my back

Bright full harvest moon ahead

Rivers of fog between earth and sky

Bushels of grass are a dewy green bed

A wealth of mystical beauty 
Surrounds my sleepy morn 
All creation hails the Painter
Whose love endures all scorn

The sun is rising through the mist 

Glorious light spread east to west 

All the earth is bathed in golden light 

As evening stars and moon begin to rest

The night is fading into the horizon
Blending blues greens and yellows
Before the moon and star say goodnight
Their light wanes over foggy meadows

As we gaze at the morning 

We are filled with delight 

Awe filled praises overflow 

Honored to see the glory so bright

I feel a smile, which warms my soul 

Fills my heart makes me fully alive 

The heart that beats to make me whole 

Wraps me in arms of purest love and life

Think of me

"Think of me"

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

When the wild ones take their shelter And slumber day and starry night

When the snow falls gently down Wraps the earth in a blanket of white

When the moon is full With her bright eyed steady stare

That's when you will find me How you'll know when I am there

When behind you lie your troubles And before you a bright new day

When the sun shines all his brilliance Through stormy clouds of gray

 When the wind does whip and whistle And whisks you off your feet

When the little bird tells her story I hope you think of me

Escaping Winter

 Escaping Winter
By: Adrielle R. Bollin

Exhaustion comes To haunt the soul

Both lack of sleep And retreating goal

The gray and white Which covers the north

It deadens my senses Depression brought forth

Every winter This has been true

Till I gained a light Which is peeking through

A reason to smile To laugh and reflect

A constant reminder Of the ways I am blessed

Excitement to come That lasts all year

Simply in knowing Appreciation made clear

When I stop to think Of all I've been given

The blessing of friends And simply of livin'

The chance to get out To touch the whole world

Old rules to be broken The chains come unfurled

A brand new world Has been opened to me

Depression must go Must leave, must flee

Slowly the Healer Is giving me wings

By showing me people Who inwardly sing

My heart which was shattered Is beginning to live

So many I must thank And to the world I must give

For though it is dark And trouble abounds

There's always a light That is consistently found

As long as I live I shall seek and will find

The sweetest of grapes On every vine
