There suspended in the air With its unanswered question Waits the shadow of despair Immune to all suggestion Night might pass light might return
If you have not yet felt this Welcome to your turn to learn To receive your virgin kiss Of that chill which gnaws the soul Snaking softly night and day Of that dark which swallows whole Lives which have been sucked away By the shadow of despair Which with patience questions for All you have and then some more
There suspended in the air Immune to all suggestion Waiting for us me and you With its unanswered question Where the nightmares all come true
As it waits so too can we Hold my hand and stay with me
This one strikes hope and longing like a match lights a candle Steve. The shadows are dark and negativity stretches into eternity but still you as the authour breathe strength and honesty into this poem to make the reader aware of your special strength. Well done old friend.

The reflection on despair, in this enigmatic writing, so vividly
and succinctly describes this feeling of having descended down
into the darkest pit; a devouring incubus with no mercy or reprieve.
Anyone who has been there, however brief or prolonged, can all too
woefully relate to the sensations and scenarious described. Truly
a deeply introspective account of despairs malaise and meloncholy.
The writing here is sterling, and deservedly disturbing and
forwarning for those not having experienced it. The authors own
courage and inner resolve and reserve in his ferocious battle with
it, is truly remarkable and enlightening. Great write, by a truly
great writer! Thanks...for sharing. So exceptionally empathetic
too.

Pray and I will pray for you,
