Hold On

Life hanging by the thread..
Plagued by intermittent sadness
Falling into the darkness..
A black void..
A bottomless pit continues..
Searching for answers in a maze of fury..

Hold on..
A roller coaster ride of twists and turns..
Ups and downs
A spiral of chaos..
Almost faster then the speed of light
Doubts lingering like stale perfume
Saturated in deep confusion..
A jigsaw puzzle awaiting to be solved..

Hold on..
Spinning out of control..
Love withheld carries the pain within..
Awaiting whirlwinds of hope..
To comfort the soul..

Had reached the top of the roller coaster..
Rapidly speeding down..
Held the force of life..
Of which is love..
Love now explodes..
Embodied by love
As it caresses the spirit..

Hold on..
No more..
Darkness dissipates..
A void is full of grace..
Beaming with brightness..
Light and love surrounds..

Hold on..
No more..
Acknowledge..
Let it go..

A ride through emotions of life--I liked the positive turn towards the end--well expressed, Robertina.
