And then
the night
comes flooding
in, like
a spilled beer.
Fear is a
rabid bat;
fatally
infecting.
Loneliness is
an ice cube
in a bathtub
melt-
ing
slow-
ly.
Love is a
flat toad in
the road of
life.
Hope is a
broken dish,
an empty
pocket,
a shattered dream.
Life is a sparrow
in the cat's mouth,
an abscessed
tooth, with no
antibiotic.
It's a whale
in a frozen
ocean;
an eagle in the
city.
Insanity is
digging for the
courage to
continue
day after
day
after day.

We must be insane then, because regardless of how difficult things seem to be , we still keep pressing on and moving forward wanting to strive for a better tomorrow!

WIth a title and picture to match.
The insanity needed just to live.
Depicted perfectly.
Great write!
Amazing writing! Very talented ☺️
Thank you so much.
Masterfully written here Thomas, the imagery you've used; perfectly sums up the absence of light, and the underlying point you make, the darkness that humanity makes; in order to profit from it everyday, comes across emphatically.
Like the consensus who've commented, I also like the picture that accompanies your words, very Wednesday Addams, and very pertinent to the season.
Bravo and I hope that all is well.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it.
