Listen to the voice

Listen to the voice 

uttering the impossible words. 

Listen to the voice 

saying those scary words you hoped 
you would never have to hear. 

Listen to the voice 

that climbs up into your head 

and seeps out into every body cell,

and you know it speaks the Truth. 

Listen, 

as the pressure of the words hits raw nerve.

How can you protect yourself? 

Where is the smoke screen you can hide behind?

That thing you have feared, has happened. 

That thing that might happen, but never should. 

The order of life has been shaken.

But living and loving is risking just that.

I was standing there

I was standing there

satisfied with life

the sun was in my back

I was warm and

and the way ahead was lit up

Then a grey cloud settled over me

and effectively slashed my joy

Now

while rain drenches me from head to toe

my mind is jaded from 
trying to fathom life

and the cold burns my eyes

as I look for something that will

spark a recognition of what life can be
