Where Angels Fear to Tread

Sequel to Stained Glass in a Winter's Blizzard...

Living through this unrelenting storm
that seems to have settled in one place
above my heart and within my soul
and the furrowed lines etched upon my face

There's the faintest tremor that quickens
and trickles down my body in a silent quake
The chillblains run deeply into my flesh
I wrap my arms around me for safety's sake

I call out to my God and question His wisdom
My limbs now numb from this winter's freeze
Icey breath exhales each sigh that esacpes
My prayers exit with each blast of winter's breeze

Sullen and feeling quite alone in my dire state
where I struggle to hold onto hope desperately
And the ache of knowing, things won't change
While spring's eternal promises fade from me

The tempest that began, tirelessly wears on
As I lay my head down, melting into my bed
Tears of mourning escape a dry raspy throat
For I believe this is where angels fear to tread

**Sigh**

**Footnote:

The worst part of giving up, is knowing how hard
it will be to find my way in the unrelenting darkness
As each day passes, and it begins to swallow
the very core of my existence into depression

I struggle, I fight, and I tirelessly try to sustain
what little hope I might have left within me
to become the light that I was meant to be
and still I feel this is where the angels fear to tread**

Over and Out

You my dear friend are just so real
and so easy to know.

Give yourself a big pat on the back
just for being one of those special
people who realizes they are human
and are not afraid to express all
sides of who they are.

hugs,
andy

I am just a simple girl who gets emotionally
complicated from time to time, but REAL...YES
Always I am that! There is no mistaking that
in me.

I will admit here that while I may be able
to "unleash reality in my muse", I have a
substantially harder time to articulate in person
and face to face. That is where my voice eludes
me, but ahhhh to let my heart and soul seep
from my fingertips...that is not a problem!

Thank you so much. You know how much I look
forward to your words of inspiration each time.

Big Jug Hugs and lots of love,
Tammy

I share in the sadness that you had known the whole depths of this personally.b But nice to know the light eventually shines too, and you are proof of it, so that counts for more in my eyes. Smiles.

Hugs and love,
Tammy

Depression can be a very powerful soul swallowing experience. You capture its cold touch eloquently. I extend my heart. I know of where you speak.

Bill,

Thank you for your kind words of comfort and support. The ache of depression is one that usually not as visible as other afflictions. Yet, it is very real, very difficult to overcome, and very hidden for the most part. Again thank you.

Hugs,
Tammy

Am truly feeling this Tammy,
and can definitely relate
to the struggle,
as I am in this very same spot.
Know that you are not alone my friend,
you never are.

Big huggs,
Janel
