I stood strong, anchored in my beliefs. Beset to the utmost, I refused to give in. Somehow the madness found mes till not withstanding. Memories sleet painfully; I have lost my anchor. Downward drowning; I am swept away. Your words suck strength and gain momentum, swirling bits and pieces of misery stinging eyes that won’t shut and defeating defenseless ears. My foundation is shaken; naught is left standing. I clutch at the void that surrounds but struggling is useless for the realm of comfort no longer exists. I have reached beyond anguish. Alarms scream loudly. I do not hear them; my ears have closed tight. Not another sound will be allowed to enter to this disquiet... Father to you I now reach, take this darkness-take this storm from me. Permit me your perfect peace; grant me shelter in your arms.

ah dear friend... the anguish and torment of struggles... and trying to release them to something greater..when our own is not enough...and the something greater itself..seems not to be enough..but all we have... very well done.. hugs... for the struggles. |

I have reached beyond anguish. Alarms scream loudly. I do not hear them; my ears have closed tight. Not another sound will be allowed to enter to this disquiet... This is bone-chilling in its intensity... which makes the seque to the prayer even more dramatic... and makes the reader ache to have the prayer heard and answered. Excellent work, gal... as always. *S* |

Clutching at the void that surrounds me, struggles are but a waste, for the realm of comfort no longer exists. ... Father to you I now reach, take this darkness-this storm from me. Permit me your perfect peace; grant me shelter in your arms. ~*~ Sometimes, all we can pray for is the quiet by which to be heard... Well done, little one... |

JB, this is really a touching poem. It brought me to tears, it is so real. I have felt this many times, when the sound of silence would have been so welcome. Why can't people realize how deeply words hurt, and how long it takes the scars from those hurts to heal? I wonder though, if it would matter to the person throwing those words out?!? Heart Hugs from Ethel |
