Sorrowful

Shadow dwelling in the heart
Over a rain of raw pain
Retrieving light from the soul
Reducing fire from the spirit
Obscured by night so dark
Whirlwind of emotions’ tearful train
Falling helplessly in the undertow
Unable to go on, wishing to quit
Lost, until one must surface to breathe air.

That "undertow" is a powerful force to resist, Caroline. I hope you are not currently experiencing this type of struggle. You describe it so vividly and many of us can relate to these feelings. Love, Carolyn
