I’m still here...
Reaching..
through the pain, the doubt,
within, without
trying to ground myself
again.
The world
spinning out, darkly mad,
hearts so sad
as hope gives way to fear
and pain.
The haze
blinds my heart, my soul-
loss of control
shrinks me to infinitesimal
smallness.
Believing..
beauty lives while we exist.
Persist! Resist
the lie that works to destroy
its face.
Gossamer..
transparent, my thought,
the words fraught
with longing, pleading for
resolve.
Reaching
for the stars, the moon
a gentle tune
to lull me into peaceful sleep
at night.
Living
the ever shifting illusion
without confusion
for my soul knows every step
we planned.
Ain’t this life grand?

ReplyDeleteWe need to be reminded now and again. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. I had to remind myself of my true insights.
DeleteWe are resilient, we will survive this.
ReplyDeleteI’m keeping that thought Pam.
DeleteWe all will survive and get through this, Cheryl. To keep the insanity at bay, keep looking at the beauty, the gossamer. I'm right there with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. I couldn’t make it without my dear friends ‘out there’.
