"When you find yourself on a dead end street take a detour." Quote by _ Constance Sometimes, life feels like a dead end street, an intersection where the street lights are broken; it is dark and scary and I am frozen in fear, silent as death except for my heartbeat. Yet, I am hearing whispered words spoken, and they are not far but quite near; I start walking and find myself in a grave yard. Is this a dream? I know this path and I am heartbroken. Then, I am back on the dead end street with a tear; with memories deep and with my soul forever scarred- Stars blinking like a chandelier !

I like your poem and your quote, Constance. When that feeling comes into my presence, I know it's time for a detour. Very engaging poetry, expressed through a different type of sonnet. I like it! Have a pleasant day, my friend. Bill

"Stars blinking like a chandelier !" -- I hear you. Sometimes healthy meridians seem broken, indeed may be. You are never alone, you and God a majority. Something I tell myself when down and out. Good luck in contest. Blessings.
