Black , this 'cursed pall en-shrouds Each waking moment time allows Nascent hopes once visualized O'er shadowed hide from wanting eyes Trust , that beacon of my sight Absents itself search though I might Familiar comforts embraced with zeal Retain but faintly their appeal A constant inner spiral reigns Insipidly my will it drains Detachment can't this force allay For these are now the darker days O'er all endeavors I feel their pull Restricting life that once was full In doubt's abyss I cast my voice Was there ever any choice Instinct answers quietly Lost is that which cannot be Lest you would join it follow me Go forth , this battle's not for thee Understanding that , which must be done Inflicts less pain on everyone Don't linger here or all is lost Each must pay a different cost The stand you take determines yours Health of mind for now endures Even in this darkest time E'er I'll guide thee , child of mine .

'Be not afraid for I will guide thee' The best antidote for fear that there is! Excellent poem, Dr. Moose! Nice to see you back again!!  Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Great read! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

I know about dark days, and have learned that if you concentrate on the everyday survival of the body, and caring for those around you, the psycological stress takes care of itself, and the spirit learns on its own I enjoyed reading this Liz |

Dr. Moose 1- I can truly say that not only was the acrostic a pleasant reminder of the help we find ... but this line was worth the discovery of a look at a new awakening within you- 'Nascent hopes once visualized' Absolutely lovely and uplifting. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
