The Greatest Test

The Greatest Test

A Poem by pinkasylum
"

One of man's greatest tests ........ homelessness. It is one of America's sad realities for the mentally ill, and with not the proper support, we will continue to lose them to the streets.

"

                                  

I sit at the brink on the edge of mere homelessness

I live off the threads of my desperate friends prayers

on deep bended knee, the long wretched night

the terror inside grasping the mind an it's panic'd psyche

days linger with rapid train thoughts incessantly cruel

bathing in the cool quiet solitude wherever I can find it

tired now, cant see or make way to the other still side

a beacon, my enduring faith and simple humility

invisible to the naked eye, I walk alone

my path now leads directly to the Divine
