VJ’s challenge this week is about resilience, not the word but what it means to you. Now there’s a subject any spoonie can relate to.
I wait, I hope and I pray
but words won’t come
at end of day
darkness falls on empty sky
and empty hearts pound
wondering why
blackest nightmare of my years
falling darkness
heavy tears
Then there comes a single star
in the darkest night
brighter still by far
for it is the starlight
every nightmare fears
the single candle burning bright
“love is more than a candle, love can ignite the stars” ~Matthew Stover
Til next time ~Peace ~JPP
