Been one of those days
Awhile too long.
Been all dull and gray
And I can’t sing my song.

I’m dancin’ off beat
And I keep falling down;
Trippin’ over my feet
With a mask like a clown.

Swallowed by sorrow,
Alive in His grace.
Are there ever tomorrows?
I’m stuck in this place.

A clown’s happy smile
Kept hidden and still.
Hands tight in the trial
Show joy and good will.

Still dancing, and trying,
Fighting real hard.
But these days are like dying
I’m bleeding and scarred.


- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

You have captured a place we have all been.And you have done so with beautiful words. Next time I am in this place...I will have your words to guide me....knowing I am never alone.
Thanks.

Wow... I do also know this place; I have been there far too many times... but had I not, your words would have helped me to feel such powerful emotions- and learn from you and  your wisdom of feeling.  It is important to touch upon depth such as this... and you do so beautifully.

Love,
Moca
