Within the Void

Make-believe therapy for dragging December...

You cannot imagine
what has done this to me –
what universal force, what will of twisted man
might have left me
disfigured
dismantled
discarded
and without words,
flailing about
within the void.

Stripped of niceties,
I tell you the truth, naked.
I become a whispering wind inside my own skin
and find my soul
empowered
enriched
expanded
and considering hope,
emerging from
within the void.

Can so relate, Dawn. I have been subject to these vagaries of wind all my life but now I am learning to harness them, to use them to fill my sails and to point me for the first time into the direction of MY own choosing. A liberationist write. The void is nothing but a preparation ground for the Real Thing... You go, Girl! :)) K xx

Come on out here, Dawn, there are many reasons for hope if we just take the time to explore them. You can make a difference, even if it is in a way other than the way you had hoped you would. Find a reason for living and then take it to the nth degree. I love this poem. It trickles down in layers and ends with a mighty crescendo.
Take care,
Sherry
