~ (~) ~ "from the Other Side of Whence It Came" ~ (~) ~
~ I was feeling the great heckler ...
taunting me, torturing me in my sorrow;
making me sorely depressed, angry, uncertain;
lost ... and-alone, and the lot; towards my
existence, and I-still-do-not-know ... nor
care when, or from whence it came, nor
how-through my bewilderment it still
remained to form, because I am so
overjoyed ... today ...that I came
out non disheartened and for
the better thanking God for
delivering me from the spirit,
of this painful utterance,
awakened-from-the-
seat-of-my-soul ...
because a new
freedom has
come for
me; and-found-me-well ... and so
very hopeful again, and grateful; to
be alive; standing-up ... boldly ... and
shouting hallelujah ... on-the-other-side. ~
Author notes
I wrote this on November 20th 2008.
The night before, I lay amid the throws of a severe depression. I never know what will come
of my writings when I am like this, but I hope and pray ... this will inspire someone else.
To-hold on ...
To keep caring, for themselves, for another, for the world, for another's world ...
Peace to you my friend and thank you for your compassion, and faithfulness and love, and for
reaching out, and for reading ...
