Strayed Sheep

We gather in groups many to be sequestered as strayed sheep Haunted and shunned by the societies we love Who can we turn to to ease the burning pain of neglect and asylum Who is our border collie the light to wrestle us in against the turmoil of everyday life But still we stay strong as it is human nature to endure and lift ourselves above the suffering So even though we strayed we still love and have matured to rise above the darkness that prevails

What a deeply moving and profound take on the picture prompt. It shows that despite darkness and everything else that youv faced and tasted in life you still would rise and have light within to do better together with all. This one really hits deep for me dear robert! Good to see you doing contests. Best wishes! Sending you light always

I sense a spirituality in your poem. Dangers are around no matter how hard we try to shelter. I like the statement "lifting ourselves above the suffering".
