Wonder of Tomorrow

07 August 2006


Do we all feel the pain
that others do not understand
Those moments of lower grade
where the gutter is a warmer place to be

That hunger ripping a body limb from limb
and just trying to raise our head up
Only to find the view is a downward spiral

While medication, or a crutch to hold
does not always mask the limp hidden
A silent etching, just scratching, digging
tearing the heart away from soul

Yet to be the victim, or a product stung
as to the bee humming, and honey sour to taste
Sure we feel the pain, our bodies consumed with guilt
but what removes that wondering
a wonder if tomorrow will get any better

Yes, we all feel that pain at least once, since everyone experiences different pains than everybody else.

Wondering what lies beyond any difficult terrain I may come upon, keeps me wandering on in wonder!

May all your roads be pleasant ones!

Write on! Walk on!

Loving Light,
Linda

while this poem was about a topic many experience, it was also an expression of feelings as many poems are.

then that is hard to put into reassuring words, yet we usually do find a way to get by, even in trying times

thanks for your kind comments
