~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life is very difficult. One of the most ancient of religious ideas that emerges everywhere, I would say, is that life is essentially suffering. - Jordan Peterson
Lonely like graying walls, timeworn
Facing the past with a shy gasp,
Subtle shadows, inklings forlorn
Stealing each feeling in its grasp
Gnarled hands serve the abandoned soul
Lonely like graying walls, timeworn
Darkness reflects pains she’ll console
Still, through the sorrows hearts will mourn
Rustling in the night, wounds will scorn
Fickle are words from this lost world
Lonely like graying walls, timeworn
Beneath the sunlight’s joy, rhymes whirled
Ancient verses free hope’s still song
Nought so gentle as hearts reborn
Destined for God’s peace all along
Lonely like graying walls, timeworn
