She swiped the lipstick across her lips even if everyday life seemed hopeless The path through flowers and weeds twisted in different directions pale meager illusions God knows she is exhausted Faith, prayer for grace and hope With eyes fixed on the sky she kneels divine to the earth Abandoned as a glow worm in the dark so many walks in this labyrinth Meek and humble to change directions Black sheep also have wool Dear God, send down an angel with the cross of truth, Amen

A prayerful write Anne-Lise. The trials of living life with untold sadness, sorrow, sickness. As life moves on, we mask our face and do our best to keep up. Thank you dear friend. :)

I was immediately drawn into the sorrow in your words. I feel for this woman, exhausted and abandoned. Your metaphors and similes were powerful as was your poem. I'm sincerely impressed. enjoy your evening, Sara

Amen to that dear Anne lise, i feel so many emotions flowing through this poem. Sigh! I really love the flow and the way you’ve woven words here to express in such a sincere and deeply moving manner. I hope today you are feeling little better (health wise) take care of yourself, always a pleasure reading you
