When All Hope and Relief Seems Gone, Part One

When All Hope And Relief Seems Gone ( Loss of Hope) (Part One) Today my sad spirit rides long dark rails as massive storms lash and churn great blue seas Lost in deepest of blues, Hope's sweet hand fails as I crash on broken and jagged trees. Far beneath a once great and mighty perch as Achille's fate approaches my life I recall divine words from father's church "seek thee, love in our dear Lord, during strife"! I crawl in forests dark, wickedly deep smell of evil, death and destruction burns I cry for safety and warm place to sleep relief from broken heart's many returns. Where hides Light's most beautiful saving rays Dusk comes, no help for man that falls and prays! Robert J.

A sad sonnet Robert, representing the hollowness and despair that assails all of us at times. It reminds me of the moths that were released by Pandora in my 'Pandora's Salvation' and when all seemed lost the ray of sunshine was little Elpis the dragonfly that is hope the emotion between love and despair - Well written Robert ...Maria

Hey Rob, this is deep. And yes hope is what keeps us strong and desires to reach for Heaven's gate. A very strong and deep emotion you crafted as always of course... Hugs :) Kina
