A moving heart-wrencher of a write with a last stanza that brings tears to the eyes with its honesty- - - -homelessness is one of the challenges to those who lose a job, or health or support of family or help from friends.

The modern world is relentlessly hard for anyone who falls out of line, who can\'t land that steady job or who loses that supportive family. It\'s up to all of us to rage against this dog-eat-dog culture where those who fall by the wayside are expected to get back up without any help. This sweet little poem of yours captures the spirit of one of the most moving character poems ever composed, Padraic Colum\'s Old Woman of the Roads. Check it out on MPS at https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-6144
The final stanza is heartbreaking:
Och! but I\'m weary of mist and dark,
And roads where there\'s never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush!
And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house - a house of my own
Out of the wind\'s and the rain\'s way.

And don\'t forget the wind. I find that here in New England, there is constant grousing about the weather, but New Englanders would have it no other way.. I\'m sure that Brits also would prefer the seasonal changes to a constant boring atmospnere. . _ Phil A.

Make a stand
dusk arising said:
I agree, there is enough falseness in those who turn to god in times of need making pious promises only to abuse the situation in a more level headed time.
Far wiser to use prayer for the mind enhancing practice it surely is wherein the brain waves change pattern to a more logical sphere and a peace, acceptance and serenity overtake ones mind without any temporary unnecessary involvement of a god.
A point well made and nicely woven in your post.

Well if you survive with your life you\'ll know how it feels to be treated as if you are brain dead anyway.

Love makes me lovesick
benevolentbluebabe said:
What a darkly beautiful sentiment...a love broken is a life lost, momentarily. When one person means everything, and to them you mean nothing, love seems hopeless, pointless. Thank you for sharing :)

So many questions will remain unanswered in disharmony.
For those living in harmony the questions do not arise. Accepting what \'is\' is harmonious.

Trust
dusk arising said:
Whoever coined the phrase \'trust has to be earned\' deffo got it wrong for it is impoossible to gain the trust of some people who have been mistreated. On the contrary, trust is not to be earned, the boot is on the other foot... trust is a thing which can ONLY be given not earned.
