Primal Cry ~ Morning Poetry

Posted on by
“Primal Cry”

by Melanie Dorsey

Some days I want to run away
Escape into tomorrow
To what I hope are better days
Put away the bread of sorrow.

An end to images and voices
And chilling disbelief
Accepting what I feared imagine
Spirit prayer for some relief.

Truly understanding
There is no one but You
With naked soul and quivering lip
Not run away, but to.

To the highest place
My feet can climb
To the deepest sea
Where I am blind.

Whether in the sun
Or darkest blue
My primal cry
Will be for You.

    My heart aches with you Mel and although you don't know me I have said many prayers for Andrew and you. I have shared your tears and no one can write a poem of a broken heart more profound than you can.
    Hugs

    I know that when I land here, I'll find perspective. If ever there was a day when I needed some, it's today. You've given it to me. Thank you for living your life in color and out loud for the rest of us. We need your soul-stirrings to keep us well-informed about the Soul-Giver.

    I haven't visited here in a while, but your family has been in our thoughts/prayers. Another great poem.

    Oh…I wish I could say I'm going to the beach, but that would mean a lot of planning & saving, etc. :) I need to move to Florida!!
    Beautiful poem. Thank you for letting us have a peek at your heart.
    Love to you,
    Lelia

    Also, thanks too for the wonderful update on your family!

    Your poetry is beautiful! Your thoughts are so inspirational. I really feel there must be a way for you to reach more people . . .therefore inspiring and helping more people. What comes to mind is speaking engagements, work shops with churches, etc. I am continuing to pray for you that God will show you a clear direction and one that will tap into your God-given talents.

    Your blog is the only blog I follow.

    I'll wash your pots and pans, clean your floors so you can go to the beach and escape and seek peace…take care..

    Hey Mel,
    Just go to the beach! Let the pots and the pans sit, wait for a rainy day to mop the floors, keep writing because no one has a way with words like you, and keep pressing in and pressing on…most of all keep on just being you. I love you. :-)

    I love to hear what's in your heart and soul….always praying…..

    If you must wash the floor be sure to use extra sudsy water so bubbles are everywhere just like in the movie Cinderella. Don't forget to sing. Okay, I know that was super silly, but I try and make housework fun.

    I think of you and your family every day.

    Still praying…

    Keep sharing what's in your heart.

    Go to the beach and chat with God and Andrew. That is a perfect idea! I love your poetry…you are such a beautiful and talented sister in Christ!! Sending you hugs from SC. You and your family continue to be in our prayers.

    Love you!

    Wonderful poem, when you are ready you may be able to help other grieving families…approach funeral homes or hospitals and see if there is a need (which there always is) find something you love to do then figure out a way to get paid for it…..many, many hugs……..:-)

    Gods can take whatever you dish out. Whether praise, or pain, he loves you the same.

    Glad you are all continuing to hang in there. keep on keeping on!

    Go enjoy the beach…..if I lived near you I would happily scrub your pots, pans and floors for you!:) (it's more exciting when it's done for someone else:) Keep writing, we'll keep praying :)

    Hi Mel….think of you all the time….you will find out what you are supposed to do…isn't that the truth about our puppies!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320 Stacey

    Melanie, when I first found your blog you were doing your speaking engagements. I know that would require really putting yourself out there. Is that something you would do again? I was immediately hooked by you because you are so inspiring. I know it's still in you.

    Dear Melanie, Every post you do is a step forward. Some of the "steps" are contemplative and prayerful, some are daily life. I love hearing both from you, because it's proof you are "present and accounted for". The thrifting trip and new clothes, which are wonderful on you, family updates and just going to the beach…these are just what you need to be doing! Thanks for letting us share your life,
    love you,
    Debra

    Melanie~ I see LIFE in what you wrote and the updates you shared. Hard situations, but LIFE. And it's beautiful to me. It's an answered prayer of mine for your family. Still hate that you all must process this nightmare, but am praising God for the light and the life I'm sensing bud from it.

    With love and prayers…
    Jennifer
