Hello

Hello? 
Is anyone there?
Or am I talking to myself again?
Either way it’s lonely down here,
and I can’t think of how it is for you up there.

Hello?
There’s no light down here,                                                             
so will you bring me a lantern to guide my way?

Hello?!
What’s the point of waiting,
when you aren’t even trying to care?
We are glued here for your entertainment,
aren’t we?
We can’t help ourselves to be terrible,
but can you help?

HELLO?!
IS ANYONE THERE?!
Or am I spitting empty phrases,
into invisible heads?
Am I weaving webs of willows,
that I will be caught in latter?

Hello?
Is this what life’s about?
Worrying until we are shut out?
Trying to to rhyme lies,
with our cries,
only to write words that don’t yet make sense?
Spitting out my poisons,
and hoping to be right?

Hello?
Is anyone listening tonight?

Darlene Gifford Date: 12/2/2014 5:03:00 PM Hello, Janet, I'm here and I'm listening to you. You are not alone. Jesus has the light. He will light your path if you ask Him to. There is no place so dark that His love cannot penetrate. You are not alone. Your poem is a sad one, but I believe you can turn that around. You have reached out for help and we are there. Blessings, Darlene
