This Tawdry Procession Comments

This tawdry procession of locust-eaten
leaves, stacking the witness box with
silent, ragged wounds of vacant nothingness,
ulcerated voids of lost potential, missing

Confession of guilt rids the guilt. This is a process we have to endure if we have empathy. It is a necessary therapy and there is much to be said for the confessional box. Great poem, Seamus.

Life can be disappointing at times, but as one door closes another opens. It can be hard to believe when wounds are still raw and the minds eye is blind to the future. One day at a time even if that's to much then one step will survice. Another powerful piece you have written here. Annette x

One day at a time....one step at a time. Just concentrate on the next step. Yes, that is the way out of the darkness. A poignant reminder, Annette. It is also good when the kindness of friends reminds us that we are not alone on this journey. There are good people on this site such as you whom I consider friends and for which reason I have not given up on it. Thanks! :) S

hmmm... not sure what you're writing about. your writing? i can be dense. but, whatever, we create, we toil, and must let go. the rest is up to God. and what do we hope for? what is most important? who most important to please? oh may the peace that confounds understanding keep your heart and mind, neal. -glen

Glen, this was a therapeutic piece during a brief interval of frustration about all of the goals and aspirations in my life seeming to crumble before my eyes. Of course, this is often just a temporary perspective of a longer process that God is working out in our lives. Prov 3: 5-6 are on my favorite list, and especially helpful in such times. Thanks for the reminder, and the insight!
