Converse Satiating

Contrary to literary consensus,
despair speaks clearly.
Anguish does not whine, scream, or whimper.
It speaks dull monotony;
blade barely able to cut butter.
Impossible, in fact, were it not
for the glowing heat buried within;
consuming all available energy,
taking finally the very spark of life;
a measure of human sighs

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

I think you speak of the place beyond whine where there is no energy to fight the vacuum that consumes. I have been to such a place...but I came back.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

(sigh) I think we can all relate to these thoughts, sweet friend, in anguish we tend to whine but once we surmount the tears we find answers and hope again! (big hugggsssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is fabulous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bart, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
