Misty Misty Morning
By Gail O’Keeffe
Misty, Misty, Morning
Enfolds me in its mist,
To help me with my "Mourning"
Of my childhood missed.
Of false love and ugly scars,
Handed down through
The quilts and threads like bars.

Of a fathers brutal hands
Life was like that "rubber band"
Not soft gentle fatherly hands.
Time and feelings I’ve had to repress
I now know
I’ve stood the test.
To explore the terror enough
Inflicted on me at such a young age –
I have now found the strength
To uncover and unleash my hidden rage.
I now feel worthy of
‘Letting my love in’
And strong enough to cut the threads . . .
Those that bound me.
I have now found the
Keys Of The Times Of My Passage!
Misty, Misty, Mornings
Now surround my Heart
And the two shall never part!
