Costa Rica - “Near to the Brokenhearted”

 

Crystal Michelle Fallin, Costa Rica
Loving Memory 

I shall 

Gather up 

All the lost souls 

That wander this earth

All the ones that are alone

All the ones that are broken 

All the ones that are weary

And contrite In spirit.

Come to me, all you who are weary
And burdened, and I will give you rest,
Take my yoke upon you
And learn from me,
For I am gentle and humble in heart,
And you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18

“Unforgivably Herself” a Poem

 

Crystal Michelle Fallin 
Auburndale, Florida 2016

Unforgivably Herself

In her time

And in this place,

She was unforgivably herself,

Full of flaws, beauty,

Chaos and imperfection,

For these are the things

That made her the most real,

And the things that

Are real in this world

Are the things that

Are loved the most…

“Her True Everlasting Beauty”


 Crystal Michelle Fallin with her
Grandma Mary, Columbus, Georgia
October, 2018

Beautiful is just something she is,

The part of her that

People saw at first glance,

But her true everlasting beauty 

Was in in her depths…

“In the Mist of My Memory”


Crystal Michelle Fallin
Grand Lake, Colorado, 2012

And, there 

In the mists of my memory 

I see you. 

And, there 

In the mists of my memory 

You shall always be.

“Spellbound” by Emily Brontë - Crystal Beauty in Winter

Crystal Michelle Fallin
St. Augustine, Florida - Winter 2018

Spellbound

By Emily Brontë

The night is darkening round me,

The wild winds coldly blow;

But a tyrant spell has bound me

And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending

Their bare boughs weighed with snow.

And the storm is fast descending,

And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,

Wastes beyond wastes below;

But nothing drear can move me;

I will not, cannot go.

Crystal Michelle Fallin age 21
My Beloved Daughter
 January, 2006

It took an instant
To loss you,
And it will take
My entire LIFETIME
To grieve the loss of you.
GRIEF never ends because
LOVE never ends,
I will love you,
And ache for you
Until my very last breath.
