It’s happening again.
Dread invades the
empty spaces and
threatens to break
my will.
It’s happening again.
Elation is
kidnapped by dark
thoughts of failure
and despair.
It’s happening again.
My heart is torn
with doubt that I
will ever again
hear your voice.
And then…
It happens again.

Wow.
I’m assuming that this is a good wow 🙂
This is good stuff Matt. I have had this same experience so many times. Thanks.
Many of our problems are common to all. Thankful for a God who is able to help us all.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing Matt!
Thanks for reading, man!
Oh, that breaks and heals my heart all at once. Thank you.
Thank you for saying so–and that is a good description for how I felt while writing it.
To quote CS Lewis, “here is a beauty that pierces like swords, or burns like cold iron.”
There is a somber splendor to this piece, Matt. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you for that quote–’tis a good one.
I like that! I’ve been trying my hand at poetry lately. Have an Easter one up on my blog, and a link to my second one that is on my writing blog (the link is on my blog). This one that you’ve written is similar to one that I’ve been working on the last few days…I’ll have to make sure it’s not the same now, lol!
Ha–no worries. Could be confirmation. Thanks!
This is where I’ve been recently. Beautifully written.
Thank you, Katie!
Great poem Matt!
I appreciate it, man!
You may have the “trinity” gift man:
Gift of humor
Gift of poetry
Gift of big head
Word around town is that there are only 6 human species with those gifts. We should perserve you and lock you in a zoo to save your life man.
All that to say, you inspire me brother. Thank you, that was beautiful.
Thanks, Moe! Never thought of a big head as a gift, but I have thought about living in a zoo. With 5 kids, I am not far from it already.
I know that feeling all too well.
Me too, brother. Me too.
Really great stuff here. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you–and thanks for reading!
Dope.
and Deep.
Deep and dope.
Doo wah diddy.
