How many battles must be fought?
How many sorrows must be survived?
         To justify the dark thought...
         That blankets inside & out

A thought already understood for eons
And never moved away from
         The voluntary creation...
         Of a seemingly inescapable abyss

Childhood is over...for all of us
Yet our pain remains
         It is time to trust
         That choosing change will heal

History will finally skip over the beat
Played ad infinitum
         All will be at peace
         And Life will begin anew

You know, it's funny . . . we spend our whole childhood wishing for the day we'll be grown up and then once we are we wish we could go back. I guess it just shows things are not always as they seem. Great write!

by the grace of God.

Lone Wolf, thanks for responding. It is rather ironic that once we become adults, we find ourselves (or at least some of us do) having to address issues originating from childhood, left like pocket change in the crevices of a sofa. (By the way: I like your screen name. It reminds me of one of my favorite comic books and a wonderful dream I had about a wolf.)

I was particularly struck by this little gem I found tucked in your reply~

Thank you Marge and Shadow for your comments. They mean a lot to me, being very new to poetry.
