Done...

Blow 

out 

the

.

.

.

Touching the bottom of the pit once again

Holding onto sanity for no reason at all

No reason around to stay sane.

All I want to do is fall;

Fall into the depths where there is no more.

No more frustration, no more ache

Nothing left within my mind’s door

Nothing at stake

Nothing that has meaning anymore.

Fall into numbness, let it reverberate,

Numbness to take away what I don’t understand

What I cannot work out

Turn it all to dust and sand

That dissolves in the wind and blows my candle out

Sounds like exhaustion, Shannan. We all need escape sometimes when feeling submerged by confusion – sleep, or fresh air, or a novel, while casting what we don't understand on One who does, and leaving it there. Rhiannon

... too much exhaustion and a life full of demands that are so frivolous and of little matter in Our Father's destiny for us ... so tired. Stay blessed $
