The deep shame of loss
oh God how it lingers
the last grains of hope
have slipped through my fingers

There is now only silence
and a dark empty abyss
It’s crushing pressure, so dense
my epilog is this

I have given the last
of love in my heart
there is nothing left
no embers to start

The pain it now eases
but not due to rest
I now can feel nothing
there’s no faith left to test

for relief from the suffering
I see only a pit
I relinquish my strength
and surrender to it

I no longer feel fear
it has won it’s control
I have no fight left
I have lost my soul

The end it is near
and I welcome it’s call
for I will take there with me
the greatest love of all

I have only one regret
as I leave this sad place
that I didn’t get
how it all went to waste

Very sad, but very beautifully written.

Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"

I missed out on the first part of the story, but this one wrings my heart. I've known that place, but in time it did move on, like some slow moving train, and time took me to a much better place - one I could not have imagined in all my wildest dreams. I hope your train moves you on to a good place soon too. You're in too sad an empire of heart.
This is a haunting, and beautifully written poem.

Jim ----this is a sad time in your life.
Your poem is so lovely and so well written.

I cannot be you and feel your pain, but
I have been where you are now. And these
things do heal with time.

Jim,
Great poem. I can feel your pain and loss. Unfortunately can relate to it firsthand. This door in your life is closing, but sure as the sun will rise tomorrow another will open. Hang in there!!

Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end.

Jim~
Somewhere in this night
a heart is aching ...
I'm sorry it's yours.

Hold tightly to the hope
that will bring you to tomorrow's sun.
It will blind you with it's brightness.

Somewhere in tomorrow
a heart is opening ...
let it be yours.

Love you and care ...
e-mail me if you need.
Love
