they sit they wait they watch: caged bird

They sit, they wait, they watch: caged bird by telle wild rose ©️ 2025

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Their eyes have a look of knowing and yet…

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never allows herself to dream. 

The catcher clipped her wings to fly, help! Yet…

They sit, they wait, they watch

as he steals everything of her being. 

Innocence stolen, future dies. Yet,

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Ears dull of hearing, eyes blind to seeing,

They turn away from her pain of yesteryear, and

They sit, they wait, they watch,

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Sitting, waiting and watching for something,

Perhaps HER to conform and fall in line, but, still,

They sit, they sit, they watch,

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Psalm 41:9 ESV

Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

Psalm 42:10-11

New International Version

10 My bones suffer mortal agony

    as my foes taunt me,

saying to me all day long,

    “Where is your God?”

11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?

    Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

    for I will yet praise him,

    my Savior and my God.

Encouragement:

Your voice is not unheard. Your broken heart is not silenced here nor unseen, I see you bleeding and so does the Father. He's the only that can heal the hurts. Turn to The God who heals you. Call upon His name.

Free falling

Falling,
I'm falling deeper
Love,
Love is calling my name
Affection,
Swells in my heart, it whispers, he's a keeper
Humility,
This is no place for pride or for shame
Name,
I have a new name.
Known,
He knows me fully and calls me His own
Justified,
I stand in right standing, if it's all the same.
Cherished,
I'm the apple of His eye, in Him I'm home.
Pieces,
Broken pieces put together again
End,
Old life is gone, new life can begin.
Sing,
The song of my heart praise Him again and again.
Safe,
And sound and saved, no loss just gain.
Bad,
I've got it bad for this God, no lie
Stutter,
My heart flutters and skips a beat, I'm gone
Action,
He beckons me forward to die
Die,
To self, blessed is the man who finds life in Him alone.
Eternity,
Starts now in the every day choices
Mortal,
I am no longer
Immortal,
My spirit and soul, body to catch up, she rejoices
Glory,
I can go on n on, this love, I'm a goner.
falling,
I'm falling deeper.
Love,
Love is calling my name.

a long, dark Haiku and Jesus who met me there

Theme song: Falling inside the black by skillet 

A Really Rather Long Dark Haiku by telle wild rose from "i wrote the wound, it was the balm" 

Don't say you love me

 If you're here to appeal your case

 Do not, I've been gone

Death, dark and devils

 Same demons newer levels

 Despair consumes me

A blade, a cut, red

 Spread too thin deep down within

 Scared of my shadow

Lies from loving lips

 Knife in back from my own friend

 A sister falls down

In the valley

 That's where you'll find me hiding

 Waiting for daylight

Sun shines yet I hide

 My shame consumes me always

 The lonely is known

Familiar spirits

 Whispers in the ear, danger

 Scream to shout to tears

Sin is a monster

 Beast underneath the bedding

 Making play of life

Child naivety

 Symbols, and riddles spoken

 Never perceive it

Confusion surrounds

 Yet Everything is nothing

 Here's a song for you

We've reached an end now

 Draw your weapon enemy

 Look in the mirror
