PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was 'Surprised' to come
and find nothing hence
some lovely poems
certainly
but no letters since
a dark, dark time
has cast upon us
its shadow long
my thoughts all
stormy and disturbed
fret after this need
I have to be strong
it seems he is coping
his way
and I mine
circumstances are
ever conflicting
while moments
jacket themselves
in chance
I lean on God still
to help pin down
these endless flaps
of my human fright
but they seem to counter
my every advance
I've heard it said
that when any situation
seems the most utterly hopeless
that is when God chooses
to strike his iron in the fire
and pull some gain
out of the mouth of loss's mess
perhaps we as fallible, narrowly
sighted humans
get in our own way when trying
to navigate this life's latest path
it is so terribly hard to say
I just miss him more than
I would my own last laugh
it seems even to a lowly
woman such as me
we flounder in the chains
of our own making
and cannot see the answer
(even if it's dangling right down
in front of our own faces)
to our eventual happiness
blind further my weary
human eyes God if you feel
you must
but give this aching heart
20/20 vision
to see through this ever
present problematic dust..............
