This

Darkness comes but it also goes,

I know this.

–

What arises always ceases,

I believe this.

–

Chaotic thought calms and settles,

I endure this.

–

Grasping tightly finds release,

I feel this.

–

Sky once oppressive

Becomes spacious,

This infinite expanse.

–

Mood brightens,

Perception shifts,

I’m grateful for this.

Dear Sufferer

You will endure this,

You will prevail!

You can weather this storm,

That batters down your peace of mind.

You feel no more, can be lost,

Ripped from moorings considered sound.

But hold fast!

This will pass,

And from the wreckage you will emerge.

Too rise and rebuild.

All that’s needed,

Is to believe you can.

This is a Verse Epistle inspired by Sanaa’s dVerse prompt – take a look and perhaps give it a go yourself. This form is a letter in verse. This Verse Epistle was based on a poem I wrote to myself this week, to help me to keep going. I hope you find it helpful.
