Into the bottom of despair



When the storm gathers and things get rough
and darkness besieges you strangling your life
surrounding you with constant terror of outrageousness
and turning all your daylight into night
driving you hard into cornered defeat
losing everything hopelessly, even your way,
you have nothing left and no salvation to turn to;
but even when all beyond all hope is lost
there remains in the darkness of hopelessness
someone to love who will think of you kindly,
and that knowledge is all you need to survive
almost anything, even the horrors of terror;
and never there was such a total despair and complete utter darkness
that love did not always shine through it
dispensing of all that was just in the way.

I have been in this place of dispair, even lost hope...it is dark and lonely...almost a tomb like existance....
thankfully, i did have God and my parents that were there for me, that loved me unconditionally and helped me through that darkest period of my life. It indeed helped me to survive.
Great expression.

Excellent!
Im trying very hard to accept the grace your speaking of in this poem.It's not easy but isolation is what makes it harder for me and so thank you for such a relative poem.
