Changing perspective

“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.”― Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

Lying in the depths of sorrow,
cemented in despair,
distracted
and suffocating,
dissolved by unanswered prayer.

Hopes and dreams get swallowed,
and all meaning goes adrift,
in seas of disconnection,
isolation exists.

Asphyxiated in the shadows,
breath becomes quite still,
searching for life’s purposes,
emotions become distilled.

Sacred tides of forgiveness,
flow with healing
in their wake,
the adornment of gratitude,
relieves the constant ache.

Finding different vantage points,
letting dread exhale,
in changing perspective,
miracles will prevail….
