The Beginning At Last

Fading Light

in ,

I can see it

I can feel it

Doors closing

Walls crumbling

Everything

Collapsing

All around me

Silence

Desolation

Darkness

Light fading

No hope

No cry for help

Not even

A whisper

No one cares

Anyhow

Not even

Me

    Stunning image. The poem captures a bit of how I am feeling at the moment about life in the good old USA.

      I think it can apply to life in general almost everywhere these days, unfortunately.

      Anxiety, depression. Yes, that’s kind of where I was driving from when I wrote it. That quiet feeling of desolation 💓

    Telling, and well-written, but we know it isn’t true. I care about you, and I’m one of the many.

      Thank you, Mary. I know that and am grateful.

      But sometimes even logic can’t erase the feeling.

      I hope you are having a great weekend. 🤗

    The valley is a dark place but not a forever place and there are angels everywhere, who care.

      Thank you very much, Michele. Indeed, the light is usually somewhere. Just not always easy to see sometimes.
