Merciful

A hint is all I ask.  There may be comfort in the grave.  Until then, I persevere, or make a modicum of effort.  Thank you hershykss!

"All that I request
A hint of comfort"
... I agree with hrshykss - sometimes we feel we need just a little hint there is some other (good) force rooting for us - and to sense it would give much strength.

Thank you Josh. The good forces may be a multitude, but the bad ones greater so.  Remains to be seen.  

We all seek a comfort...I do hope you get it while still breathing

Crow.. being comfortable with something, takes bravery.. especially facing the unknown.. much respect..

My brother, you know I have a deep respect for you and I cherish your words. Lately you have been repeating a thought that have always had. Comfort be found beyond this life that has known many of my sins, but also many of my tears. We've known little solace under this sky. Death must be more bearable. I want to savour these words you've written and repeat them as a prayer. They are of such tender beauty and I feel they hold a spiritual truth:
"Therein may be peace 
A refuge from the war 
All that I may deserve 
Merciful oblivion 
Bearing me away".
May your words be prophecy also for my heart. Fraternal hugs to you.

Sage yet sad
