Mind At the Edge of Hope

You walked a garden path, young heart holding intimate hand You nurtured hopes of permanence in an impermanent world Of you loved and belonged, and of you owning and retaining. Times changed but you didn’t know how Storms surged but you didn’t know why Blew the mind, a discarded dry leaf, away. The garden ravaged and the flowers trodden You walk now a lonely walk in the garden turned wasteland The crushed thoughts rising from debris face the void mind The garden perished but you don’t know why The life is worthy but you don’t know of what. The blankness drags collapsed dreams down To the dark depth of drained life To the brink of self-annihilation. To your splintered mind at the edge of hope I tell search within and discover the inner light That would show you the existence of purpose God gave you in this life so beautiful. No cause is greater no reason better To leave than to live. September 6, 2017 Contest : Suicide Prevention Month Judged on : September 19, 2017.
