You are my solvent
for my wounds torn
open from inside so
deep now I’m reborn.
Do not follow I have
treaded deep water
drowning I’m a cynic;
also nothing to offer.
I’ll take your joy to
my mound in fields
where stones collect
atop bodies to reveal.
I hover over fathoms
of truth I see selfish
reasons for all here
who the same perish.
Let yourself not be
drowned in oceans
where cold tumult
left me to be frozen.
Honor dies daily I
shed tears long ago.
Now I walk so alone
I know not where go.
I thank you my dear
for shedding a little
light over here where
faith’s turned brittle.
Do not what I tend
to do so easily found
is I lack hope in it in
the world I drowned.
Yet I return to your
banner you held high.
Hope in two of us it
resuscitated me alive.
From your gentle words
I’ve got new perspective.
Still now I fear it dear
my motive is defective.
I wish I had the words to bring some sort of comfort, dear friend. I’m not sure if this applies to your situation, but my brother once told me that anything life offers that is worth having, is worth striving for. And even if you don’t get what you set your sights on, something greater might fall into your lap. Sometimes life brings us a joy while we are striving towards something else. I’ve never forgotten that. Anyway, whatever it is you’re lacking hope for/in, try hard not to, because if it’s worth having, it’s worth striving for. 🤗

Thank you for your words Kristian. I’m in a little bit of a dark place as of the moment but this too shall pass. Thank you my friend.

Sorry to hear that. You’re right. It will pass. It might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass! 😂 Hugs! I hope you find something today that makes you smile.
