Angels are the proof that heaven exists,
where there’s despair they appear from the mist.

If hope is the blueprint, then despair is the erosion around the foundation of faith.

“When leaves fall from the trees, do not despair, there’s beauty in a tree that’s stripped bare.”

Cruel with guilt, and daring with despair, the midnight murderer bursts the faithless bar; invades the sacred hour of silent rest and leaves, unseen, a dagger in your breast.
--Samuel Johnson

"Every sunrise is a beacon of hope, reminding us that each new day offers fresh opportunities to learn, grow, and redefine our journey. To the traders feeling lost and the souls battling despair, remember: the market and life itself are full of endless possibilities. Embrace the promise of tomorrow and find strength in the potential of a new beginning."

Seeing death and despair all around us, we are deduced to a state of hopelessness; we must believe that hope will become light through our darkness. Let's pray fervently and cast our anxieties on Christ.

The sorrow of Good Friday's sacrifice to the joy of Easter's dawn of victory is a timeless testament to life's journey from despair to hope, from darkness to light, from trial to triumph. -Aloo Denish Obiero

The poet, the writer ... is sharing their thoughts and feelings with the universe on another level. Revealing their greatest vulnerabilities as some sort of cathartic alm towards understanding and empathy, or there for the grace of God go I. Perhaps a confessional place where they commune with themselves and readers will acknowledge that similar darkness and light within themselves and not feel so different, or alone. This is the way of all writing, whether it is about joy, or despair.

Creatives I Admire (Part 1) - The writers and creatives I gravitate to, are those who have been driven to the depths of despair, experienced the greatest pain on many levels (physical and emotional), have survived to share with us their experiences, whether they are cast as outsiders or received as enfant terrible geniuses and welcomed by society with open arms (while many of those creatives such as those I speak of, shun those open arms).
|
Creatives I Admire (Part 2) - Those creatives who have experienced, 'going over the edge', have plummeted to the depths of despair, loneliness, emotional and physical pain, are the ones who have the greatest appreciation for beauty and love, and an understanding of the cost paid for loss; and while some do not survive the plunge, their experiences make us understand what it truly is to be ‘human’. Those are the writers/creatives who I gravitate to and admire.

Hatred is not derived most of the time from empty feelings, but feelings of emotional despair and experience with familial and environmental neglect.

In moments of despair, take inventory, what is the worst that can happen in this situation? Then trust that the worst does not happen, for it seldom does. You will outlive many worst-case scenarios in your lifetime. Andreas Simic

The rule of law is what distinguishes freedom from tyranny, peace from violence, happiness from sadness, hope from despair and comfort from worry. The rule of law is what makes a citizens enjoy their sleep
|
The number of those who are really aware of what is happening just before their nose is high; however, that of those who turn a blind eye to what is happening is much higher. In that case, everyone will sigh with despair

Santa Claus,
for Christmas, please,
don’t bring me toys, or games, or candy . . .
just . . . Santa, please,
I’m on my knees! . . .
please don’t let Jesus torture Gandhi!

Farewell to Faith I
by Michael R. Burch
What we want is relief
from life’s grief and despair:
what we want’s not “belief”
but just not to be there.

Wherefore do I despair in blood and eyes,
When the heart flames the mind to knit.

In the silence of our despair, Smile
The universe informs us ... learn to listen.

A mother's deft touch
always repairs despair.

My little witch of where*
What happened to the air*
We were one loving pair*
With untapped rhyme and flair*
Then your eyes and nose flare*
The fuse lighting our fare*
The last I saw you stair*
Up up and away, where*
Lost a twitch in despair*
And gave an itch to care*
|
The crab on the pier has no peer* Of chorus he's off course* Daze are his days pinching dispair* His latest pearl perils in divorce*
|
Nudge despair out of the way to make room for HOPE
|
Do not despair, for you can still take a deep breath..
