 Beyond Numb

 

Pain remains beneath the feet

Skipping along beyond relief

Heart beat’s to its defeat

Reality’s ongoing grief.

 

An effortless grace

Is concreted in place.

Because of the rat race

Peace remain’s encased.

 

Sunshine quickly fades

Pain blurs page to page.

Quickly pulling the shade

Beyond numb to disengage.

Amazing how we can hide grief or pain in the mind-numbing but comforting rituals of life. The disengagement of the actual thinking part of us and the submergence in comfortable and well-worn activities. But no matter how long we hide our feelings in the bicameral pathways of our minds, we have to surface eventually and work through pain. Ever forward Deborah. Bob

Beyond numb is a place where we don't want to go but we go.
Putting this in a poetic expression must be even more difficult.

Here's to peace, love and positive blessing.

God Bless You Deborah...
