Blank Sights and Brightened Paths

That’s the end! 
A feeling crawls in 
Times unaware
So creepy, so ghoulish 
Gaping at the unseen

Schedules crushed 
Strategies lost
Plans all crumbled 
Listings crippled 
And a doleful heart

Proclaimed by pals
As a resolute soul 
Was I one
I did ask myself, 
Once and more 

Here I stand 
Frozen and inert
Staring at nothing
All hollow and bare
Wishing if it all ends

Cool winds blow 
Harsh and hard 
Turning my cheek 
Over to the path 
Bright  behind 
Leading its way,
To Freedom and Love 
New Horizons Bright

Thanks for sharing this... exposing a reality I hope you are able to overcome, and face with victory. Meanwhile, Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
