Blocked Drains

My poor heart aches as my mind cogitates upon the deep desires of my dark soul, and searching for profound truths that can be expressed in mystic subtle syllables. Alas such thoughts come at the worst of times. I dream of them, elusive to extreme. I wake and these abstractions spiral up into nothingness of infinity, ethereal concepts lost into space, misty spectral reveries, brown studies of doubtful natures, devious musings of negligible earthly happenings. All lost, unattainable conceptions, leaving me spiritless limp and listless, a ramekin of moronic despair, riding a foamy crest of frustration. Until my looking glass is tinted rose, the black clouds break and faith is reassured. Then I shall take up my pen and paper and scribble all my endless worthless thoughts. Alas that holy day is still to be.

… Until my looking glass is tinted rose, the black clouds break and faith is reassured. Shall I give you my sad song… I think I shall pray. <3

WoW! So much emotion here. I think we all suffer a bit of self loathing and that's because we see ourselves with all our faults and hope no one ever finds out the TRUE ME. But God does know the true me and loves us anyhow. There is nothing hidden from Him. Yet His love knows no bounds. As All Good Fathers ARE. Great write here my friend. Loved it. God Bless, JB

"Until my looking glass is tinted rose, the black clouds break and faith is reassured." Some days or weeks seem like they need these lines to come into our lives. It is good that you can see a good end or a light at the end of the tunnel. I enjoyed reading this one. Your visit was uplifting. Sara

Always better to look at the world through rose-tinted glass, particularly these days -everything is so gloomy it's easy to dispair...Delice
