Lasting

Fay Slimm.

 

 

 

Lasting.

 

Descent to despair can reach

darkest of worlds

but when petite-mort leaves

good news unfurls.

Awakes stirrings of Self tied

to anticipation,

beckons to hope kept inside

dismal failures

and when inner sight clears,

heart makes repairs               

creates healing conversion.

Shows rabid despair

can have lasting reversal.

    Rabid despair is quite a fearful thing. Thanks for sharing.

    I love the hopeful nature of your poem. In it I see the ability of the heart and mind to bounce back from despair, and use the experience to rekindle the self. So well written!

  • Morwenna

    Such clever rhymes helping to make the poem move on from despair to anticipation and hope to reversal. Through Self. I guess it a lot of us can recognise someting of ourselves here.

    It's like a Gothic novel with a happy ending, well at least a hopeful one.
    The "Darkest of worlds" to "can have lasting reversal," "beckons to hope kept inside." At first, I was depressed, but then things became brighter. A real contrast in tone, _ Phil A.

    That reversal can happen at any moment and be totally unexpected Fay.
