If all the oceans dried to dust,
and mountains crumbled to the ground.
I couldn’t feel much worse, I trust.
for in such great distress I’m bound.

I cannot say exactly where,
this plaguing emptiness began.
Or when my heart began to tear
to leave me but a broken man.

Be careful of things going well,
for every light soon fades to black.
And every man with hallowed shell,
cannot escape the coming crack.

Me like.  Truly a lovely poem.

OH KEVIN
how old are you?
you look to young to lack Hope.
Look inside yourself
life does not have to be the way
you describe it here.
Look towards your creator
and your innerman the Holy Spirit guide
to this journey we all take together
but more so seperately.
You have a real talent with words
let that be the start of your path!
and when you are on YOUR path
you will find PEACE and JOY always.

Hi Kevin,

A broken crumbling world. Easily made me feel of the lowest points in my life. Makes me appreciate the good times even more.  Thanks.

I felt the deepest of despair myself, nearly three decades ago, at the age of nineteen, and never that desperately ever again, in spite of everything.  I trust that your sadness will creep out of its hole, and metamorphosize as mine did, and fly into the wild free sky with joy!
