With Feeling

Hopelessness pervades whenever hope begins to grow,

Doubts swell, rising as a tide, breaking the defences

Friends gone. So it seems. Their distant cries a helpless call,

For what?

Me?

A shell of a man, frozen in this bitter wind, stagnant in these still waters

Life, effervescence, champagne joy

Popped.

Desolately I fall to my knees,
Angrily I cry my tears of despair,
For who is with me now?
If my God is for me?

They stand against me, at all sides
Shoving me back
Into a cocoon

Maybe I'll blossom, flower

Fly away from these binding ropes

Soar once more to those dizzy heights of wondering how I ever learnt to glide
Know myself capable in the maker's hands

Hands that hold the world
Holding me.
