This room is accusing me.
it's walls shout shame at my fears
I sit in
self imposed silence.
Questions,
endless searchings
the past
the future
but not now..
this time is dark and deathly.
there is no sand to write in.
I cannot forgive myself
for I am recoiling from
a broken and fading reflection.
I have finally found myself
lost.
this room
hurls insults
and I hurry to play it's melodies
like I always have.
Little note,
can you carry these brutal words?

i know that shame.

praying for a window to open or a door of grace to be flung wide.

oooh billy I'm so glad you put this down in words. You have said it so raw and real, and I love the shape of it.
Thank you for braving it. x

Love to you too, Heidi. xx

Thank you so much, both of you.... one of the 'wonders' of deep darkness is that it lets loose a trickle of creativity... I think I would like to play with words again.

This is brilliant and real. I've felt the self imposed silence. PLEASE play with words again, billy!
