"My Foundation" Melancholy hovers thick around me Sucking all the breath from out my lungs Dampening the shining light that found me Smothering the victory song I'd sung Is this but another stormy trial? And will I finally bend, or will I break? How long until I drown in this denial? How much more should I be forced to take? But this is not the first storm I've endured The others all have failed to break me down And through them all I've lived, and I've matured With you as my foundation, sure and sound November 24, 2009 AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

I loved this as it speaks to every person who has ever felt their load was too heavy, and made it through. There was hope in this as well as sadness. |
