" What are the blessings?" Comes, choked from my lips to delve the intolerable for life's grueling tips. PAIN'S unique lessons in a myriad of forms with no two exact yet, each of us mourns. The loss of our treasure be it private or known suffering humbles and, in change, we are grown. |
Into new selves forged through the fire affliction transforms the soul transcends higher. LIFE is God's gift we cherish what remains we bond with one another we will never be the same. without a word spoken to the ear Sounds of pain in different keys scattered notes in disharmony |
Each stricken soul without a choice
responds to loss with distinct voice
You may hear rage or detect fear,
masked revenge or sorrow's tear
There are chords frozen numb then gradual scales blending as one In deepest silence LOVE is revealed old wounds tended true songs healed and made new. |
