Heaviness builds incessantly, buried, uneasiness consuming
Is it enough?, having what it takes, who is watching, waiting, expecting?, never ceasing
Wanting to embrace, trying to slow down, real joy fleeting,
Thoughts careening, spinning faster, faster, twisted, crashing

Longing to know why, how? Who is this? Has it all been a façade?
Always affirming the art of genuineness, what is real, real for who?
Naked, alone, cold, seeking cover, running but slowing, breathing, slowing,
Tired, numb, grasping, hoping, craving

Just as suddenly, light, a glimmer
Glances ever so slightly, lucid, palatable, gloom slowly fades
Beyond the pale lies celestial fields, rest, stillness
A new season awaits, a new hope rekindled
Awaiting its fullness
