Adrift 

 

Darkness slowly descends,

to cover and surround,

shallow fog drifts in

and air

is hard to breath.

Gasping,

breath painfully fills lungs

with focused effort.

Face, wet with tears,

or mist,

I know not which.

Hair, wet and haggard,

hangs heavy

draping weary body.

Dress laden with water

weighs down disheartened Soul.

Sorrow infiltrates thought.

Voices ever constant;

drone on and on….

Monotony of sounds,

especially the lies

weigh heavy on fragile shoulders.

arduous is the burden

where hearts are involved,

reforming is difficult,

when all Hope

seems lost.

    Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~ Matthew 11:28-30

    • Thanks so much Diane. I promised another friend I would try to write something of faith soon, so hopefully my brain won’t fail me now..LOL I love Matthew 11:28-30.. How did you know? Thank you for your kind concern and words of encouragement! :D

    • Yes, from the US (South) but I come and go a bit since my mom had a stroke a week or so ago. I love to read but don’t always comment… I do “like” them if I’ve been by. :D

    • Don’t worry about me Benjamin! That is so very sweet, but I’m tough! If I can fight off cancer, I can help my mom with this little set back. God works in mysterious ways… I have faith that this too shall pass! Thanks for caring… :D
