Upheavals on our journey
can displace the faith we've known;
our tumbles over snarling roots
can scrape us to the bone.

When failure stomps our tender plans,
we sink in bruised decline,
as swarms of doubts assail our ears,
infest our weakened minds.

But evening presses downy kiss
that seals our tattered day;
the scarlet of our bleeding fades,
in slow dissolve, to grey.

Then breath of morn, in scented mist
and blend of fresh-brewed light,
reveals a soft-packed trail that hope
repaired throughout the night.

Tomorrow is another day.

Scarlett never said it this beautifully, Lary.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Beautifully written - this poem very sweetly expresses the healing that sleep can bring, to a wounded soul. I love the way you write. You are certainly a gifted poet.

I can feel the struggle. Don't give up. It's yours...believe it...never, ever let go.
