Desertion

A dream to fill a life void developing dream. Life is boring dull worthless without purpose. Reason destination. Merely seen. Seldom savoured. Return attempt heart’s purpose. Where felt mind wavering incapable in controlling life's work worsening situation. Watched pain proliferating in lesser loved cared for. Knowing how hard. It is. When we can do nothing. Seen. So much. Pain palpitating. It hurts more merciless now. Than it ever did. Kaleidoscopic fading faces. Sediment sentiment. Problems have not. Made face fret stone. Wearily worrying at bitterness. Like a dog at a bone. Did. Carrying choking chip upon sore shoulders. To drown extant whole world in. Nor broken yet. Although always felt broken. Rose through Adversity. Like disembodied mist rising off morning rocks. It rained floods floored us. Washed feet out beneath us. Beat us ever into welcoming mud. In afflicted after-math shaken sun shines weakly through before gathers strength to shine bright new rays assuring hope upon us. Refugees raise flagellated faces ever struggling again. Summoning summer sun. Survivors hoping holding light to bathe battered bodies in. Refugees feel faintly to learn to rely upon Stygian strengths. Sealing a team a partnership. In love life lusting facing. All oppressive odds uncountered. Moments misanthropic melancholy failure frustrating fortitude. May overwhelm mulled multitudes. Together. Together we endure. Alone. Alone we wither. Copyright © Terence George Craddock
