Poem Artwork

 

Through days so dark and murky
succumbing to inactivity, getting lost
under a cloud of indifference
unable to see any signs of meaning,
tired of wasting time gleaning for it

One takes stock of the insignifigance of
themselves, and apathy sets in, disquieting
the psyche, making it easy to demean and
fade out of the day-to day life cycle

Heavenly shadows of things to come
are stowed away unable to requite the
longing for what seems right,to have
the happiness one feels entitled to

Where is the reason and why should one
care, it doesn't seem to be happening here
No cause to care about the alternative
for what one has, doesn't  do it for them

There is a time when the cloud lifts, when
the chance for choice is made available,
and hopefully the mind isn't too far into itself
to come out and take a look...

For now, the twilight of hope reaches out
like a climbers rope offering help to the
daunted mind that was lost and couldn't find
it's way home

In shades of golden light the deep black night
has fallen, to open a new day. The fingers of
cloying,clasping, spectres have been slain, and
freedom to seek ones goals is now returning, while
the mind remembers the way of right thinking.

-- that marked definition of the psychological terminator -- the darkness of despair on one side of the line, the brilliance of hope and faith on the other side -- a journey to the terminator is made many times in the life span of man -- 'tis there, proper perspective is gained -- peace be your companion this day -- JMW

A beautyful poem which only a knucklehead like Brother Jersey will confuse with the ambiance around him.
And when apathy sets in...we can chase with a few lines telling the world to come and blow away the fog.

I've come to the conclusion that Summer is for youth! :o) Whether the heat, age, pain is getting to me, I feel much the same as you Eileen. Thankfully, the Good Lord has bestowed upon me my cats, who don't give me much a chance to get "low, and keep me going; blessings for little things...

You portray vividly the struggle to think well when besieged by disease. May the glory you seek come to pass.

I am asked if I'll be happy in new efficiency apt. I answer it doesn't matter anyway things aren't the same without Tom. I try to put on a good front, but deep down am hurting still. I don't really care as much as I used to about where I live no more. Just so I have a roof over my head. This is an uplifting poem cause it ends so good. Golden light shines anywya. and right thinking coming back. Good for you keep at it.

It is important, even in the most difficult of times, that we remain focused on what is important in life and in our world. In the times when the sticky spider webs of negativity clasp hard onto us and try to immobilize our thoughts, these are the times when we must look deep into our soul and remember that we are here not only to please ourselves, but to please God. Powerful words, Eileen, I am glad that the force has come back into you.
Take care,
Sherry
