I Beg My Fallen Soul To Find Its Strength Again

I Beg My Fallen Soul To Find Its Strength Again I beg my fallen soul to find its strength again Illuminate this spirit to hold and thus see Revolt against agony in every sad pain No more useless begging of, please just let me be! Scream back at shrieking black-shadows on their dark hunt Free my sinking legs from this deep, murky quicksand I live in this storm, tis no bad dream or mere stunt At times its misery is more than I can stand! Find stronger heart, bring color back into my life Reach into my vanishing dreams, gain their rescue Alas! Each day offers another chance for strife My mind cries out, gift relief, is it not my due? Destroy this heart-wrenching torment that eats my all Shall anybody, anything answer this call? Robert J. Lindley, 3-01-2017

Robert, I cannot take it all away from you. I would, if I could. Even in your pain you write beautiful poetry. I send my thoughts your way, and am thinking about you.
