there's hope at the end

Do you ever feel like
There is an emptiness inside you
An emptiness 
That drains the light out of everything?
A black hole

Life in grayscale
Colors faded
Flavors muted
Voices distant

except

One voice as clear as day
The one voice I don't want to hear

It tells me all about:
-The pain
-The melancholy
-The meaninglessness
-The never ending repetitiveness 
of it all

It asks me-
How will we get through:
-This day?
-This hour?
-This minute?
-This life?

I have no answers
Just tears

         ******

And yet
I always know 
This is a transient and temporary state

I always recognize
This somber and dejected voice
It is not evil, It's not a liar
It's hurt.
In pain, and seeking solace

Maybe 
It is a gift and its a curse 
Its the connection to the Earth
Her winter sorrow 
And her hibernation

Perhaps
It's this connection 
Which also brings
the Joy, the Giddiness
and Brightness 
Of spring and summer

              ******

You can move through this pain
I know
You always do

You keep the hope 
warm
In the hearth of your soul

The hope that 
Tomorrow
Will be a better day

With
a little more color
a little more music
a little more lightness

                ******

And so it was

there's hope at the end - 2

last night 
i sensed its presence 


the walls were slowly closing in
and soon 
i know
i'll feel like I can't breathe


it's clenching down on my heart
the coldness spreading
draining out
the final drops of joy


i feel its weight
settle 
on my chest
on my shoulders


i feel its heavy chains
tangle
around my feet
around my arms
so very heavy
leaden


i hear its siren song
echo
in my mind
always in my mind
i can't resist it for much longer


with every step i take
and every thing i do
i hear it louder
i hear it closer


its merciless and endless
commentary
why, who cares, it doesn't matter
life is just boundless pain and work 
and then we die
so what's the point
are you prepared to live this way
for the next half a century?


i try to push it away
you try to keep it at bay
i try to drown it out
you try to hear it out
i try to scream at it 
you try to empathize with it 


it makes no difference


the siren song continues
of its own volition
until such time
when it shuts off


take heart, my love, it always does


it has a mind of its own 
so let it play
let it become the background
the meaningless familiar din


be comfortable with it
be gentle with yourself
ask for a hug


do not believe its fictions
seek out other stories


and joy 
will surely find you
sometimes in unexpected places


you will get through today
you'll see!
and then  
tomorrow will be better

and so it was

my gifts

my gifts are 
              many
bestowed upon me 
               freely


most of them 
          not asked for
          not even envisioned 


a lot of them 
          bring joy
and some 
        bring pain
and all 
      bring wisdom


my gifts
       picked carefully
       just for me


 by loving hands of 
         Our Universe
         The Mother


she holds me
          Gently
          at heart center
