Loss overwhelms the soul.
A matriarch ageing,
A patriarch gone,
Sanctuary eroding.
How relentless is time.
Tearing at stability.
Can hope be found,
In amongst the rubble?
Tag: despondency
Knowing enough is enough,
Begins with believing you are enough.
*
When fertile ground becomes barren,
Pastures are spent,
What was full has emptied;
*
Freezing in place is unsound!
Find a peace in movement.
*
Ride out the regret,
Face down the sadness,
Accept that all things change;
*
Turn from victimhood,
Find a hero’s grace.
Pervading sadness
Not thrilling but compelling
Way easily lost
Comforting melancholy
Erodes will spends energy
For Ronovans Monday challenge where key words are sad and thrill.

Was I heard
Today was chaos
It twisted and turned
I spoke a lot
But was I heard?

Brain Mires
Unable to trust
My senses now
Delusions made real
An eternal row
Between my worries
And all my doubts
To my hopes
A pointless bout
So all that is left is
Do what I know
The only option
Is to let go
I don’t mean of life
Despite its pains
I mean the mires
Inside my brain

Mind Storm
Thoughts gust and billow,
The sails of consciousness.
Tearing down equanimity,
Whipping up despondency.
Mind is tossed and turned.
Finding no fine calmness,
No quiet act of divinity;
Can settle and let it be.
Yearning for the solace,
Lost in squall’s madness.
Cyclone’s destructive proclivity,
to disturb a sense of decency.
Then the worst is over, leaving
persistent rains of sadness.
Mind’s cyclone bows to gravity,
& battered, but lucid you see.
It was simply passing weather
The awesome greatness,
Of melancholy’s audacity,
Obsolete to patience’s key

Future’s Beckoning
Future’s beckoning,
Time’s reckoning.
Melancholy threatens,
Peace deadened.
Conquering fear,
Living right here.
Finishing tasks,
Doing what’s asked.
Vanquish despondency,
Averting tragedy.
Becoming complete,
Understated, discrete.
