Silent Suffering

'In the darkness may glimpses of light be shone upon me,
giving me the strength i need to walk thru the shadows of whispering trees and untamed wild beasts to mend what secretly is.....a silent but ever aching heart

You captured so many powerful images in this short three line poem. I suffer from a mental illness and have suffered for twenty years now. Thank you for this poem!

You certainly have a most intriguing name...Its rather quite lovely! Your poem reminded me somewhat of the psalm: "My lord is my shepherd". There is a certain sense of "Fortitude" about your poem. Keep on writing...And welcome to the "Soup"! My best regards! :) john

Interesting comment John - The lord is my shepherd was a popular hymn at the school I attended 20+ years ago. A favourite church psalm as well. I had not seen the link until reading your comment. Thankyou for your words. H
