The Greatest Things That Shall Not Be

I work through pain...

The greatest things that shall not be

Now faded hopes and memories

Of things I’ve dreamed and hoped and prayed

Replaced with doubt and feeling afraid

Is this the fate that is meant for me?

A dark path with no light to see

To dwell on things that are lost and gone

And fade away with coming dawn?

Quietly slip into abyss

Of loss and fear and what I’ve missed

Full of regret, empty of hope

To never smile and always mope

Stoned, alone, in Mountain Time

No great heights shall I ever climb

I wander through this solitude

My faith in things is not renewed

And wander round until my time is done

I shall disappear, like setting sun

The dream is over, not to return

And deep within this pain still burns

In despair and in my sorrow

No smiles today, no laughs tomorrow

No hope or heart shall unburden me

Of the greatest things that shall not be

Wow.. such sadness.. through such flow.. we all feel like this sometimes..it's a struggle sometimes to find the light and after such a hard winter.. for you to have the courage to venture out west is quite the inspiration.. many would like to do this and can not break free from their cushy jobs and everyday life.. you just had a very major loss so I know that hurts.. hopefully this spring and summer gets better for you and opportunity opens wide.. I hope for you! Thank you for sharing.. your writing is always inspirational whether happy or sad.. here's to better days ahead my friend! =)
