Faith and Grit

Bewilderment and toxicity, 
Is all I could see.
Living for so long,
In this world, trying to be strong. 
I tried with all my might, 
To win such a long drawn-out fight. 
Until one day the darkness nearly won, 
Darkness and I nearly became one. 
Then one small light shown in the distance, 
My soul was finally taking a stance. 
I am worth more than this mere ending, 
I am worth love and befriending. 
I walked away from all which held me down, 
You won't believe what I found. 
Joy, peace and people who cared. 
It was there for me, if only I dared. 
I picked up my pain and sadness; I put it away, 
I'll deal with that yet another day. 
Now I know who I am, and what I will do, 
I will seek the help I need and always praise you.

A Widow’s Psalm

Swift winds,
Soft morning dew.
Smells surround me,
Sudden thoughts of you.
You left so soon,
I did not know what to do.
I close my eyes,
Bitter days gone by.
In your time, did you think of me?
Did you wonder where I could be?
One day comes,
Another day leaves.
You did not cherish all that was good,
You did not love me the way you should.
You passed from this life,
No more longing, no more strife.
Bough breaks, flowers toil.
Feet planted firm, planted firm in the soil.
