First there is hope, shaded by silent promises and the warmth of being wrapped up in his arms.
(I had forgotten what serenity feels like.)
Clarity forges indifference to shield the war-wise heart, but leads directly to disappointment anyway. Thunder grinds away without the calm of rain.
Sadness sets up and smolders deep inside, where there's no room for tears.
Tonight you read my mind Lulu. I dont know about you but I always still hope it's the last. And I pray that moment of understanding never comes. Perfectly coated in heart.
ReplyDeleteLuLu, you always say what I am feeling inside... this made me cry... I often have sadness deep inside where there's no room for tears... just beautifully said...<3
ReplyDeleteA sadness so deep down is nice in a way.. to be free of the associated tears. But it certainly is difficult to shake. That is the truth.
DeleteWritten from the core...this was very powerful and resonated.
ReplyDeleteIt just makes me want to have a hug even though its not substantial enough nor is it curing
ReplyDeletejust for the brief moment of warmth
love always

The worst state of mind is the one of being torn into broken pieces.
ReplyDeleteIts becomes very hard to put yourself together then.
Someone once told me that when your heart shatters it's as if pieces of you have been launched into the air like confetti. If you force yourself forward, one foot in front of the other, you will catch yourself one piece at a time. But only if you look up.
DeleteI always really enjoy your writing...i can't say it enough.
ReplyDelete*Sniffles and hugs you*
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful soul... all of your writing touches my heart. I hope things get better for you. Sending love and good thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteis hope enough?
ReplyDelete(sometimes it's not)
No, Stephanie, it is not enough.
Deletedoes it always happen like this? is it just on repeat?
ReplyDeleteI read your blog backwards tonight, so I read your hopeful one before this one. So it doesn't make me as sad as it probably would have. xoxo
