Awaiting the Road

When shadowed walls echo empty sound,
remember, you will always be my friend.
When all feels broken, lost, not to be found,
remember that -this- is not the end.

Remember that there is no darkness without light,
as you have been that light for me in darkest of hours.
You were there at every stumble, shining and bright,
and you must stand as strong, when the world overpowers.

If you could hear the prayers beneath the silence,
you'd know just how much we all love you so.
If you could feel the support beyond life's violence,
you'd know how much we remember, the gifts you've bestowed.

None of these things can be thrown away or forgotten,
and many will stand behind you, no matter the obstacles in the road.
So when the shadowed walls boast coldness and refuse to soften,
remember those of us who stand, awaiting the road.

They say that only those still standing with you when the dust settles are truly your friends and I would have to agree with that sentiment as I have too often in life been left standing alone despite loud protests to the chaos the world has thrown at me. Maybe it is that I know what this is reference to but we all sometimes need that reminder by those we hold most dear that they will not abandon us no matter how hot the flames, how solid the resistance or wave after wave of assault.

Wonderful as always dear

I need to be looking for people to be like this and myself. In my current state I have been undergoing a feeling of needing to find a group of people devoted to learning a new subject of study. Sadly, I am not sure how much of a priority this is. I feel like the need to create great works of art or reams of knowledge/memorization of facts pulls me away from this supportive feeling you are able to give in these stanzas

I find the same issue while taking college classes. It also makes it difficult to write creatively. However, there are still times when my muse screams until it is appeased. Thank you for stopping to read and review :)
