Much As Love and Hope Defeats Blackest Blight

Much As Love And Hope Defeats Blackest Blight I shall walk from the dark into new light Much as love and hope defeats blackest blight So too, may faith in recovery ask Does not the hero, in great courage bask To stride a victor over battles fought A winner, hero, to live again thus sought. I shall walk from the dark into new light To view morn again, revel in delight So too, shall hope gift its defending shield Much as beauty to mankind such truth yields Knowledge within life's wandering parade Revealing heart's dreams are too oft overplayed. I shall walk from the dark into new light Beg forth a basking moon, to defeat night So too, will joy and happiness return As wisdom teaches, life's truths we must learn Alas! To man a great battle to win In this earthen sea that so darkly spins. I shall walk from the dark into new light Much as love and hope defeats blackest blight So too, may faith in recovery ask Does not the hero, in great courage bask. I shall walk from the dark into new light. Much as love and hope defeats blackest blight. Robert J. Lindley, 4-07-2022 Rhyme, ( Found Within A Deep-Sent Night Dream )

There is no point in saying, "this too shall pass", we become stronger, it always accompanies us, it is like the shadows the clouds cast as they come and go past the Sun. Rainy days arrive to remind us we are alive. My pov obviously, not others. Sometimes grief is a comfort. If we did not grieve we would be very empty souls indeed. Xx

I keep my sword razor sharp, my scabbard never sits rusted and my shield tho' heavily dented, is still worthy of its aged warrior, imho. God bless....

We being but temporary shadows within a vast and mystery designed universe- walk in a blindness that we cannot understand while in this flesh encompassed vessel that weakly shields heart and soul. To truly appreciate the light-- one MUST , see, understand and oppose the Dark in this world. Not avoid it , as so very many tend to do- whilst pretending all is candy, roses, happiness and singing in the pouring rain. To oppose- one must see, face evil and draw sharpened sword to strike blows. To not do that is surrender, imho.

Thank you, my dear friend. Truth is my beloved wife asked me to not stop writing. And I am doing my best to honor her request. But it is hard when both heart and soul are so deeply crushed and so oft tears flood out to remind of the catastrophic loss and waves of loneliness that crash into even the briefest of moments of respite that I may have. God bless...
