To everyone whose love and support have lifted me through this challenging time:
Something
Sometimes
we reach for something
but
it’s something we can’t see
When
a moment feels like hours,
And
we struggle to just be.
Despair
is all-consuming
And what’s
next is what we fear.
We
listen hard for something
Uncertain
what we’ll hear.
Sometimes
we pray for something,
but
lack religious creed.
When
all it takes is something
And
with it, we are freed.
I’m
glad you are that something
when something’s what I need.
Thank you!
with love, Robyn
Beautiful Robyn!!!!-- You are already Freed from this---now just take your time and process it all so we can all learn and grow from it with you!

I love the writing Robyn, it's incredible. I'm glad things are looking slightly upwards in this long healing process, we're all rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem, even though it speaks of suffering and my heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeleteYou write beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it!
Well done! It's a beautiful sentiment. You're not alone! :)
ReplyDeleteAs Gilda Radner once said/wrote, “It's always something…”
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, there are so many “somethings” that hurt, cause despair, etc. But then, as you note and have been able to see (in spite of or because of your despair) – there is always “something” to help us through it all.
I hope you are doing well (better?) on your journey.
Hugs and love.
hope it gets better for you Robyn - nice verse btw - all the best David x

Everything you do is with grace and style. This is an exceptional poem on so many levels! Robyn, you really do have that special " something." Julie
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!

ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to see how you're doing.
Still thinking of you.
Keep planting one foot in front of the other, no matter how "it" feels. There is no short cut through a long dark tunnel (unfortunately) only a slow progression of painful steps.
BUT - - - there IS light at the end of the tunnel, and it will still be there when your steps, small though they may be, bring you to it.
Hang in there and keep walking my friend.
Great read, and thanks for joining my blog. I gave you a Shout-Out today. :)
