Hi Lonely,
when I felt alone,
separated,
wanting the pain of life to fade,
I was so internally focused on
being alone..... and lonely,
and
it deepened my darkness
the hole into which
I was withdrawn
so it was,
in faith,
life,
became a bursting fount of joy
as through prayers uttered by so many
God became my hiding place and solace
an ever present friend
to SHOW me in my darkness
there really was light
and
I was drawn back away from the abyss of darkness
which had held me imprisoned
so joy might flow from me
to be shared with others
and in the sharing
though it might only be
a word or two shared here
both peace became the fillng of my heart
and the tremendous pleasure of
helping another
drew me
into
bright light.
Thus I pray you may be with me
in light
having joy
even for a while
today
