Horrors invade my spirit today,
I cannot diversify these things in my way,
I cannot mend nor repair these formidable enemies,
The shroud is inpenetrable today.

The Grim Reaper himself laughs at my fear,
He tells me it's all up to him,
I cannot hold onto a life, nor save it,
It's all his decision and perhaps a mere whim.

My familiar isn't so familiar today,
And such lonliness forms and congeals upon me,
Distant and contentious,
My very love sometimes a hindrance on reality.

Yet I cannot extricate my most prized emotions,
The very core of my being,
Cannot rescue much needed peace and serenity,
Cannot kill my very reason for living.

Alas, all I can do is continue,
Continue to care, to love and to pray,
Continue fighting my own emotional cataclysm,
And believe as I always have 'That love will find a way!'

*~ Love and Compassion are the moral fabric of world peace. ~*

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

Thanks Sven, I just can't seem to make a difference, I want to help and can't, want to be and can't..  I'm ok though so don't worry or anything... *wink*

Thanks Siofra I think this poem has been misinterpreted by all the readers....  It is basically saying my hands are tied, there are things I cannot change, disease, circumstance etc.  Not depressing as such, just a reality....   ??????

Isis,
I'm positive you have at least helped me. You've given hope where there was none, you've given a beautiful voice to fill what was once a silent void. You've given so much of yourself that I can now hope that one day I may be able to somehow return the favor. Many hugz in your direction, and eternal thanks.
