Poems and Short Quips - 23. Temporary Chasm

I’ve noticed that…

Silence becomes easier than language

When the burden of existence weighs heavy,

When the advice of others falls short,

When positive thoughts become ineffective

 

I’ve noticed that…

The periphery becomes favored

When the darkness casts long shadows,

When inner voices convince of wrongdoing,

When solace and distance refuse to reconcile

 

I’ve noticed that…

Stability collides with ambivalence

When doubt and duty fight for the throne,

When consequence of action loses relevancy,

When tunnel vision supersedes logic

 

Yet, I’ve also noticed that…

The brilliance of dawn repeats each day

When we least expect the reprieve

When we pause to breathe and release

When we finally forgive what is lost

 

The chasm, oft self-imposed, is but temporary.


Thank you for patience... and kindness... and getting me out of my own head.
