Difficult

The days have been difficult

The nights have been much worse

In the darkness of my bed

I replay chapter and verse.



The nights are so very long

Dredging up all the past

Too much time to dwell on hurts,

Black hours that last and last.



I rise as the darkness lifts

Removing bad feeling-

The agony, sadness, hurt-

I let day begin healing.



I'll be alright- dawn is here.

I'll get in action mode.

'Til the sun begins to set,

I'll toil down my dusty road.
