“At Prayers End”


 


In collaboration with my darling Editor "Micky"


 


Again we struggle toward the light


Nightly hues of nostalgic blues


Fingers out-stretched crossed velvet skies


Darkest places touched deep inside


How empty in time this space you leave


Eyes insentient search for heavenly clues


Engulfed dark thoughts my soul besieged


 


Pleading prayers like whispering winds


Escape my suffering heart revealed


Each word released screams out dismay


Another child, innocent dies today


Dare I breathe fear's air such into my heart


Pleading I beg you tell me why


Nostalgic dreams my warmth at night


 


Procrastination prolongs my pain


Relentless search for rekindled hope


Another prayer released to your domain


Your love to instill instaurations embrace


A heart enrich with laughter's joy


Reimbursed years of endless pain


Not merely strength by which to cope

A song says, "When you can't trace His hand, trust His heart."
I see you trusting Him, even as you cry out in pain.
Deep yearning sentiments that you have intricately expressed.

God bless and keep you close.

'How empty in time this space you leave' is one of the most notable lines you have ever written, Tinka, and through the refining fire of suffering and pain, and not knowing why..yet, retaining your faith, it will make you even stronger than you already are. And you are already, dear lady, incredibly strong.

Love&Comfort be unto you, Rhonda

Tinks ...

You are writing deeper than I've ever read you. Such deep rivers of emotion and pain you are dealing with.

You will survive you know sissy, you don't have a choice. And then someday all this pain and suffering will come into a clearer light.

Stand Strong dear friend ...
