AlmostA Poem by John Alexander McFadyenAlmost I came so close to caving in; to throwing in the towel, just giving up. When faith does not exist and the runes seem to spell disaster, time and time again, what else is left? A black hole swallowed my soul and the cloak of hopelessness billowed around me, swamping me in its darkest dankest stench. That place is the loneliest, the most isolating, forbidding corner of the earth. There one has no options but to succumb to fate. To accept one has lost ones way and there is no way back. Everything else, all purpose, all reason, all the love that you once possessed, has fled with the angels who once believed in you. So in the cold isolation of bitter grief there is but one place to hide. One place to seek sanctuary from the torment of the Devil's taunts. To sleep, perchance to fall into a safe space where the guilt and pain and the wracking self-doubt simply do not exist is, at such bleak moments, all there is.
