                                        Another song to sing
                                      these tears I can't hide
                                           Concerns found,
                              an encounter with grief and despair
                                          Unknown decisions
                                          as a nebulous quest
                                  Certainty becomes uncertainty
                                    in an reciprocal vulnerability
                                           Things slowly die
                                    Pay attention ... we develops
                                    either physically or mentally
                                 Facing the wrong side of the wall
                             I must live on as I pursue my dreams
                                    Even traces of breadcrumbs
                                             may challenge

Anne-Lise, I have been remiss in checking our your work and will try to catch up. Thanks for all your visits and comments. It's certainly true that when we feel bad, the littlest things can seem almost impossible. I hope you are well. Life can be an emotional yoyo!

Wow dear beautiful Anne- Lise, this touches the heart with its powerful, heart rendering words. Alongside the words, the picture is profound as well. I truly felt this as will all that read it. Every line has great impact with so much deeply expressed thoughts and emotions. The last few lines are so poignant dear, sweet one. Live on - so many more dreams to chase. This really has touched me. Sending you many blessings and big hugs with love xx

Life can seem hard like diamonds, without a warmth of glitter -- petrifying~ a disappointed heart aged into stone -- but all such griefs will be broken with time, mended into rainbows. Faith. A beautiful, touching relatable poem. I can relate profoundly.
