UNSPEAKABLE

What horrors the human mind creates
when demons whisper fear
and the soul can no longer speak
words of holy consolation.
darkness looms before you
threatening annihilation
and you despair...

is a powerful thing. Yours seems to be as wonderful as ever it was. I cannot know where you wander and I will not presume to say so. I am always brought to mind of the old Indian saying; that one should not judge another until he has walked in his moccasins. I would think that that goes for the hell and fire that another suffers too. I wish you all the best, ~ Gee

You are right. We are living in a web of nightmares. We are kind of a sleepwalker. However, don't you worry. We always wake up in good time because there is a job to get done each day.

an eloquent poem nicely penned with class and dignity. to despair is to give up and give in. but one can always reach out and grab on to the light once again.

That's hoe I feel after watching 10 minutes of daily world news. You don't need more.

I'm trying to figure out how not to despair right now. I'm trying to write a poem about it.
I'm not getting very far.

Your poem is great. Nailed it.
