The night falls gentle upon the earth
Within the heart of a terror~filled child
But a sentry~like awareness of you
I can hear;every noise,every movement
Within the house ever keenly aware
There is no peace this night Mommy.

A silent prayer is taken upon the wings
Of my wishful compassionate mourning dove
Who waters the ground below with its tears
Watching puddles form where each drop lands
Forming a new ocean of sorrow for me
There is no peace this night Mommy.

The tender child draws itself inward
Into a tiny ball as if to disappear
... footsteps are heard in the hall
"please no"is whispered,"please go"I prayed
As the hateful doorknob quietly turns
There is no peace this night Mommy.

The dove soars higher,sobs within its breast
Penetrating clouds,gliding upon on wind
Seeking its source;looking for the light
Knowing there will be no peace this night.
The shadow falls across clenched fists.

Tousled curls,drawn up limbs,eyes squeezed shut
Against the scene about to unfold again
Scarcely breathing,knowing,stealing away
Feverishly and earnestly winging to-wards..
There is no peace this night Mommy.

The rainbow of light and celestial destination,
The dove contracts and gasps with the pain
Of its little charges spirit and delivers the message
To the being of Light and Beauty and Hope
Who swoops down to grasp the hand of the child
And deliver its pain to another dimension
To be stored until the child is stronger
And able to face the reality of evil on the earth.

The angel mercifully cradles her charge,
Gently rocking,while tears stream down her face...
Mixing with the silent tears of the child.
The dove quietly sings its grievous song of mourning
For the lost innocence of this precious child.
There is no peace this night Mommy.

at this time.....

Cybear but very heartbreaking,

Too many tears of sadness...

My good friend, you have hit a chord long forgotten. If only things like
this never happened. Pains are hard to remember, yet they do help us
grow. My prayers are with the angel who watches over us all.

Tears on this keyboard

at one time...
I was that child,of sorts...

I felt this pain,from my past rush forward within this poem...

I'm so glad those days are long past...

it was a time I'd rather not remember...

powerful read Cybear...

Ohhh Cybear, that is soo sad I guess I don't understand how a parent can
give anything but hugs and kisses to a child.
Very good tho.

(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) TO ANYONE THAT EVER HAD TO GO THROUGH
THAT!!

Glad that I never experienced such a hell.
ed that any child should have to, because of what kind of
parents/adults they are stuck with.

Very powerful heart wrenching words I know all too well

dear cybear theirs lots of us around to tell of those things .....wish
it wasnt so......someday it will be just a faded memory;;;; booboo

wow cyber that is powerful and moving

BTW Cybear, very powerful and brilliantly written poem.

That was beautiful Cybear. I luv you bear.NO ONE should have to go
through that.

To put into words such a dreadful scene takes a lot of talent and
emotion which you have Cy...
Thank you for sharing and putting into words what a mother fears most
for her children.
Thank G_d for the angels that do watch over us each and every one!
Heartache and tears for any innocent child that had to go through
something like this and love and strength to deal
with the memories..

Tears fall from my eyes,,,
