Into the Abyss

I was in an abyss more than a decade ago. No hope for I had fallen into the darkness, Thrown in the deep pit of self-pity, my faith Obstructed by hopelessness, doubt, anger. Then I saw the light that gave me strength, Hope and belief that I can crawl out from Endless disbelief, uncertainty, trepidation. Another abyss at this time, only this one Besets the family, society and the world. Yes, this abyss between good and evil, this Senseless divide creating violence, bullying, Subjugation spreading globally, a pandemic. 12/10/21 "A" Forms, New Poems Poetry Constance La France Theme: #3 - Abyss Acrostic

WoW! Marilene, What a well-written and meaningful write on your chosen word. I am so happy that you saw the light and got out of the abyss you were in. I agree, there is an abyss between good and evil. I remain positive that humanity will emerge from “ this” abyss. Congratulations on a well-deserved win. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Thanks, Alexis. Yes, I was so depressed then for months. Now, what's going on is so disheartening... Just have to remain, positive... Happy Holidays... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

This great big Abyss , I wish to plug it with earth and bury it, so I can stand on it firmly, I pray that we can fill it gradually until there is only a strong surface to walk on, Solidarity of love and human contact once again, thank you for sharing Marilene, I miss u xo
