Lazarus Rising
Hope abandoned ..
A change on the horizon
A change that holds on
A change that sinks it’s teeth in
*o*
Loss of light ..
A world smashed
A life detroyed
Walking out laughing at the devastation
*o*
Pretense of hope ..
Evil undertones
Psychotic thoughts
Cold, callous heart offering nothing
*o*
Hope dies ..
Nothing left
New views
Clouds of despair crash on waves of torment
*o*
Lazarus rising ..
A new light
A calming element
Something new slowly entering causing hope
*o*
Hope restored ..
Life has flipped
Souls touch
Life has a new look to the horizon
*o*
Life returns ..
Future is unknown
A new day dawns
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring

Alastair, this is so touching. Very well done.
Thank you
Alastair…this Is your best yet!! Wow…you just keep getting better and better. So very powerful and well written….absolutely magnificent!!! Thank you for sharing this…I too am familiar with the nervousness of hitting the publish button!! Keep writing, keep sharing and we all will keep loving it! Hugs sweet friend ~
Thank you so very much Christina. Hearing that coming from you … who has a fantastic gift and who inspired my first .. thank you.
That hitting the publish and thinking it unfinished .. something needs to change … will anybody like it. Thank you again
Oh, you’re too generous by far! I’m so much more than thrilled that I could be a part of your inspiration to start writing poetry….you do have such a fantastic gift for it!! 😀 I think the plight over publishing or not or thinking it always unfinished or wondering if anyone will like it is part of every writer!! 🙂
I think you may be right. I think sometimes maybe I should post them just before I go to bed. That way I don’t panic LOL. Then again, maybe I would panic more and not sleep. Oh a catch 22 hehe
LOL most definitely a catch 22….but the more you conquer that fear….the easier it gets…..mine hasn’t gone completely away yet lol :p
Your poetry is so inspiring, so moving Alastair. 🙂
Thank you very much LuAnn 🙂
First of all, you really shouldn’t be so nervous and unsure about yourself – your poems are GREAT. In fact, they’re BRILLIANT. (insert wink here)
