I meant to include, this was inspired by Strbbux' "My Inner Soul"

Not Muse, But Agony

a catharthis
of words
as fluid as tears
come spilling out,
along with my weeping,
words that do not process,
really,
just spill and flow
out of
the profound burden of love
upon which I can no longer see
nor touch
a target,
words that just spill,
unleashed
through the opening
the wound has created

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

The agony is painful indeed.
Wonderful expression nonetheless.

Oh my gosh....Agony is sure the right term for it...this poem just shouts the pain of it....Absolutely stunning and very powerful..I can only pray the pain becomes so much less than it is right now. **big big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Thank you, both, and Startime, please the introductory sentence that I forgot to include when I first posted this piece. If you check back into Strbbux' poem, you will see that most of it transpired in my comment to her poem. I could relate, in great part, to the feelings she had, however, it has been in dealing with my own losses. I cannot imagine the pain of enduring the loss of one's child, however, and I pray to God I will never have to know it first hand. The aching I feel just pondering such is horrible to bear in itself.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(big hugggsssssss) Such a sad and agonizing poem, sweet friend, I can see how this was inspired and I pray with all my heart that while the pain may last forever, that it will be alleviated and hope will follow! (kiss on cheek) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Just sad, the agony flows and healing comes in the gaps.
