Rescue, From the Weepingly Blue

Rescue, From The Weepingly Blue

weepingly blue ...
yet thirsting for life
treasured days, measured by fleeting time
beckonings of truth, sorrows left behind
searching through life's winding maze
rising from shadows and vanishing heart
distant fire
a shimmering horizon
gasp, gasping, pleading, and grasping ...
for life
for serenity
a cloak to cover
world's dripping webs of darkness
closer comes
light and hope
more born of prayer
waking to find
distant fire at my feet
blessed warmth of hope's promise
new dawn glow ...
morning birds chirping
beauty stirs
an eager mind 
to see
salvation and life defeating
dark terrors of
the weepingly blue.

Thank you my friend. I was in the mood to write and decided to compose new poems to submit. That free verse poem came splashing forth in a smooth flow and I thought -what a gift... God bless....

My dear friend, indeed when we need rescue from the black abyss our thirst for life allows us to drink from the fountain of light and hope, soothing our parched heart and reviving our spirit. Your poem is rich with emotions that are so poignantly, beautifully and tenderly expressed. My thoughts are with you and your family, Robert. Warmest wishes always, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan
