The darkest night and clouds
To think of the many things, I want to
sigh about in consideration of events and issues that have not been as
favourable as one would have wanted. The times my mind wanders into tunnels
that scream despair and desolation to the hearing that I refuse to heed.
There are words that seek to speak
from my lips that restraint would tell should not be spoken, looming
hopelessness trying hard to envelop hope and expectation as you walk through
the darkest times into the light ahead.
The toll is heavy on health and well-being,
you become a recluse of all kinds of expression even as the walls that seem to
close upon you are held away from collapsing on your helpless frame by forces
within and beyond that grow with the intensity of a volcanic eruption blowing
apart the concealment of ineffectuality, I will thrive beyond my wildest dreams
even if now all you are clawing at is the will to survive.
Strengthened beyond description
Life is a force that defies explanation
and the will to live and live well is more than a burning desire that gives strength to see beyond the present struggles. When all is said and done, you
are a warrior that goes down fighting for what we have resolved to do change
the soldier’s narrative as victory is won more by making the enemy die for
their country much as the heroics of dying for one’s country might eventually
be celebrated.
When I feel that I am alone in the
battle that I face, what I do not see with my naked eyes is the multitude of
angels arrayed in battle on my side, I am growing in confidence that in this
experience of what life is, I am on the winning side. Goodness and mercy follow
me, all the days of my life. [BibleGateway - 2
Kings 6:17-20 (NIV) Psalm
23:6a (NKJV).
