Notes About The Poem

Godly Inspirational Quotes About Life - Hettie Annecorinne

Healing Desperation

Desperation, draw me not like magnets pull
But once again let saneness possess me in full
Do not ravage me like a loin upon its prey
Block not the seeds of thoughts that come to save the day

Like limbs of a tree in the presence of a gale force wind
The heavy weight of thy encumbrance makes me bend
As a cookie being crushed underneath a fisted hand
Sapping my power, I become a broken man

Hope beyond my greatest self, suddenly appears
Dashing all desperate thoughts, releasing all my fears
Focused like a camera’s lens, my eyes see a way
Attitude and mindful thought, must have their say

Ideals forming one by one, possibilities
Desperation lost this time, healed is my choice of realities

I could feel the struggle in your words as well as the need heal. I appreciate the 'hope' verse...especially 'attitude and mindful thought.' Your sonnets always have tidbits of wisdom that I great appreciate xoxo
