Sometimes during my day the sun ceases to shine, and i feel downcast with a tendency to whine. But God isnt filling my heart with this sadness, He gives me a choice of either that, or gladness. Sometimes i'm caught delving on current things gone wrong, instead of counting blessings and singing a song. But through it all i remain in...

Despondency
A lady in a Victorian dress, Next to an old printing press. Within a gloomy writing lair, Falling down the abyss of despair. I can see the tempest in her heart, It’s like a wild museum of art. She is a tornado trapped in a jar, On a raft drifting way too far. In a mighty yet desolate dwelling, Where silence is loudly yelling. There...

“Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.” – Helen Keller She sat amongst the gathering crowd. It was her birthday, you see. The men were bespoke so proud and the ladies were dressed to a T. The table was layered in muted hues and laid with sundry hors d'oeuvres on a linen cloth of pinks and blues. She was a bundle of...

A jar now mutely holds washers and clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, buttons, and the oddity. It once held the dreams I dreamt and jangled with hopes, desires I’d saved, lost in one life....

Despondency
There are some, from birth are marked by melancholy, The silent shades of sorrow, are their congenial haunts. The glades of grief are the only places, their leaf can flourish. Others, who through some crushing misfortune, Being brought so low, never holding up their heads again, but go, mourning all the way to their silent graves. Some, again, disappointed in their early youth, Either...

Premium Member Heaven, He Could Reach
He had known despair before, The depths to which it plunged his faith. Still, His grace lived within his core, Heaven, he could reach. Driven, he had borne the fight, His honor drove him on. He raised his eyes with Him in sight, Heaven, he could reach. Grace showed him so much more Than hate and fear and dread. It bore him toward that shining...

This Distance Between Us
This Distance Between Us by Michael R. Burch This distance between us, this vast gulf of remembrance void of understanding, sets us apart. You are so far, lost child, weeping for consolation, so dear to my heart. Once near to my heart, though seldom to touch, now you are foreign, now you grow faint . . . like the wayward light of a vagabond star— obscure, enigmatic. Is the reveling gypsy becoming...

Premium Member A Cold Day
I am flung against the drab ashen phonon sky, weighted with ghostly iron clad jaws of bitter winter's grip, biting the feather-flared Doves gravid with fatigue from the ill-laden onerous air. The rough-coated dog with ice-tipped ears had surrendered to the corridor of gutters in the toilsome cold, a fugitive of neglect of his...

Despondency
You may withdraw yourself from others Become quiescent or lackadaisical Disrupt sleep or appetite alter Feel sluggish or delirious When the echoes of your parents'altercations Rack up your eggshell mind When you avoid people whose company You've typically rejoiced relishing Yet you remain part of the quotidian process That regaling you would your emotions trivialize The world should revere your right To confront a loss...
