Love runs
more deeply now
Still, after years
since the sky
darkened –
the stars
stayed hidden
as the despair
was unbearable
for the heart breaks
each time the mind
strays from reality

Love your poem, Lauren,
The stars are always there, waiting to cheer us. Sometimes, we need to wait out the clouds. Once they empty their tears, blue skies reappear. And come evening, the stars glitter for us again.
Peace,
Eric
Thanks so much, Eric, and what a beautiful comment filled to the brim with truth. Hugs, my friend!

You’re right, Ben, but it’s not about me. Someone very dear to me, though…

Reality can be hard to face at times.

I think often our hearts can break, when we allow our minds to stray… Learning to create our own realities is the key. One where Love is in abundance and may we all continue to hold the stars in our eyes.. ❤
Beautiful thoughts, Sue, thanks for sharing. Someone close to me is going through a tough time right now…all I can do is be a good listener and help where I can. Hugs 💕
Listening is the greatest gift… I am sure they are blessed to have you listening..
A powerful poem, Lauren and I feel the heartache and pain within the words, the strength of love holding all together! Without that love, facing difficulties nearly becomes unbearable. Xx ❤️
Thanks, Annika, and you’re right, without that strong love, facing difficulties would be just about unbearable. She’s doing okay, but each day is a challenge. Hugs, my friend…xoxo
