There has been an edging darkness
a coming storm
that just
keeps
coming
Thick clouds spiral emotions that
pour and pound
persisting and insisting on pushing us
to a brink we can’t see beyond
to a reality we don’t recognize
Inconsistency is currency
as the powerful veil truth from the powerless
ever searching with blinded eyes
ever listening with deafened ears
eager to climb, to cling or comply
to anything that offers more
than the absence we’ve now intimately known
There has been an edging darkness
a coming storm
and it might keep coming
But The Light is still behind each laden cloud
and gilded margins become radiant sovereigns
when given their chance to rise
So whether or not you believe you can carry on –
Do
Whether or not you see the end –
Stay
If you can’t see … feel
If you can’t hear … imagine
Defy the ache and the ebb
with audacious joy
with ineffable hope
with resilient conviction
Until you wake to the glorious morning
after the storm
this quotable life 
Thank you. I needed this today. Love this:
“So whether or not you believe you can carry on –
Do
Whether or not you see the end –
Stay
If you can’t see … feel
If you can’t hear … imagine”
I appreciate your hope for the brighter days.
Jayne! Amen sister! Brighter days are coming! Stay strong, hold on … I’m right there with you!
So beautifully written with words so true. Our hope through this storm and every other in life is by holding onto the Light and knowing that no matter how deep the pit, no matter how dark the night, Love is greater still and morning always comes. Always.
This is so beautifully said! I cherish your kindness.
This one really resonates, Elle. Thank you.
So grateful to hear it! Thank you for taking the time to share. Be well.
