Notes About The Poem

“You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective, it just means you re human.” — David Mitchell

Listen to poem:

Valley

You got me
I was weak it's true
A terrene bond
By tacky glue

Too worldly;
Thoughts and self-desires
Is just not how my
Soul aspires

Hindsight hurts
I disappoint
Myself 
Alignment out of joint

Yet, here I stand
The day is fresh..
No longer caught
In soulful mesh

Of thoughts so dark
Though light is small
I awake to hunger
For right and tall

So then, replace
Such mystic hope..
A little faith
Throws me a rope

The valley walk
Must surely end
Return to be 
Eternal friend

Barbara Barry-Nishanian October 5, 2023 at 1:42 PM Hi Sam, thanks for visiting me. Hindsight hurts, but it's like looking in our mirror. Helps us see where we need to make adjustments to make God's heart happy, and put him first in our lives, not our self desires or interest. So easy for us to get off balanced. Enjoyed very much. Sam Scott October 5, 2023 at 2:55 PM I agree Barbara thank you for your comments - the theory is much easier than the practice at times :)

Ink Empress October 5, 2023 at 5:22 AM Despite the challenges and difficulties, you’ve expressed here so eloquently and in such a raw and poetic manner how you stand tall, i felt the depth of this, and i think one who dares to speak openly about emotions is courageous and strong definitely not weak! Hope throws u a rope! I love that, faith gets us to places often. Well written and presented Sam Scott October 5, 2023 at 9:31 AM Oh my gosh, dear Ink, thank you for your gentle compassion. Poetry reaches deep sometimes and brings emotions to the surface, as you know, but with that often comes a strange hope and healing. Love what you do and thank you for your continued kindness :)
