Breath Taken

Breath Taken


dry as a desert
black encrusted
slime and mold sink down

breath taken
swirling down the rabbit hole of life.
back breaking, spirits looming
darkness barely held at bay.
frustration builds

education: the word of the day.
breath taken
advice given, advice taken
the prize looms away
sleep nonexistent.

frustration reaches the breaking point
low to anyone in the way
dead, it died, not ever full of life.
evil is done on early morn

breath taken
resolve straightened
regroup, fight again
no winning in sight

heat pours out
light peaks in, only to be turned away
darkness comes to spread the word
sludge takes the win

~Snook



Make someone smile today. It can not hurt you and it might save their life.


Love,

Snook

You are so loved and are strong enough to get through this and while you may be there 'alone' physically, your friends are there (here) with you.
Sometimes sludge wins, but not for long. There's always a new day and those who'd show up with hugs, a compassionate ear, cookies, inappropriate jokes, a plunger, a pipe snake thingie, a hammer and duct tape if they could. (That ought to handle most problems.)

Love and hugs and hopefully a 'day off'!

my body made that choice for me LOL
day off it was.

dishwasher is ordered and comes on Saturday........ we will see how it goes LOLL

🤗😘 Glad for you having a day off but sorry about the circumstances.

Hoping for a perfectly working and easily installed dishwasher. Or a sweetheart of a studmuffin with a penchant to wash your dishes for you. Either one should do nicely. 😉

I think your dishwasher poem was better than mine.. lol

HAAAAAAAAAA
Yours was much happier :D

Hang in there, love. You’re not alone. 🤣

you are right. I have brownies :D

and really cool wonderful friends. <3
