Clemency
Derangement questions do conspire
Uncertainty about housing
The fragile nature of income
And dread of a returned street life
But she's the one to comfort me
An angel here, right by my side
She tells me all will be resolved
Heaven, or Hell, will have to wait
She then strokes my graying hair
Departs with a gentle smile
I take some comfort in her words
And rest assured I have a while.

Life is such a struggle. Loneliness, stress, conflict. We get to a point where we can't fight anymore. Our illusions are all we have left. But they never lie. I hope to have caught the soul of this beautiful write. Excellent my dear friend. J
You did catch the intent, J. I wrote this in a moment of weakness, getting by on illusions. I try to take action but more often than not the results are precarious. It helps to write about them. Nothing in life is truly secure in my view. Just getting by is a blessing. Thank you for your comment and RL entry!

We have this in common my friend. We are true beings and we suffer. We have probably made big mistakes and had great falls, but we are lucky because our illusions are bigger and truer than life itself. Ad maiora!

I'm at least somewhat aware of your own struggles, Brenda, and it's a comfort I'm not alone. Our experiences are very much on the dark side much of the time. But you're a survivor, that much is evident. You honor me with your comment, and RL entry!.
