You are welcome. I guess I was speaking of something more like the vague feeling many people get that something is nagging at you when you are happy trying to ruin your happiness and I know that God created us for joy and not distress. Sometimes in dreams, sometimes in floating kinds of unanchored feelings we experience this. But the worst is when there is a political reality generating it, I agree. Thank you for your insight and appreciation. It is appreciated.

A fascinating poem, Mary Angela. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you. It was partly inspired by the book, and the reality behind the book of Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon. And also by my own spiritual experience and life experience as a Christian depending on the love and light of Jesus. I was happy to combine both elements in one poem.
