Seven Nights Until Dawn

 

 


For Anne Heche and family – I wrote some of this and in posting on her Instagram page I received more comments and interaction than I remember in over 10 years of writing poems, and creating posts for people. (I have a lot, you can check. J)  Here I completed the poem for her, gave it a name, and placed it where all can see. 

 

 

You were a broken soul,

Like so many of us,

Yet you fought through the damage and pain,

You found your gift,

To reach across the rift,

To help us feel whole again.

 

You became so darn good,

At that thing you do,

You performed with Pacino and Ford,

Yet no one is perfect,

Who walks in this world,

And you struggled to find your accord.

 

A child has memories that will build her,

You had memories that did haunt,

Delivered by the most trusted soul,

In escaping from that past,

You gave us escape upon the stage,

As you fought every day to be whole.

 

You sought to love others in life,

Seeking one soul to be close to,

You found a love Hollywood could not embrace,

Yet what you were shunned for,

Has found exaltation today,

Though you were denied your place.

 

We all make mistakes,

We have all done wrong,

These are confessions from honest souls,

Yet we seek joy and love,

As you found with your sons,

Through love we are each made whole.

 

You were a mother and a friend,

Giving your heart to many,

Today many pray you are filled with love,

Standing by God’s warm heart,

While you touch His face,

Embraced by Heaven above.
