I have never felt so lonely as I did this New Year’s Eve
A deep and hollow emptiness gives me cause to grieve.
The thought of new beginnings weighs heavily on my heart
From older, safer comfort zones, I find it hard to part!
The future looms before me; I cannot change the past.
I know I’m growing older, time is moving fast.
And I cling to many memories that were never meant to last.
Within this lonely vacuum, though, there is a beam of light
I see it through the darkness on this empty final night
So I’ll focus on that glimmer, on the pale and flickering flame
As I bow my head and utter, my Saviour’s Holy Name!
Beautiful words Vera.
Sometimes we forget that God is always with us
I got chillbumps up my arms when I read this. Thank you Vera for the perspective, this is a beautiful poem and a hopeful look towards the future. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.
Lovely, lovely poem.
I wrote this poem two years ago on 31/12/2014
It was a good poem then Vera, it is a good poem now. I hope you feel that the “pale flickering flame” has now grown brighter though 🙂 That is not by chance, it’s due to your efforts in the past year.
written at the end of 2014
Some things never change.
Awesome Poem, Vera! I have read quite a few of your replies all over the forums, appreciate all the kind words and wisdom to others and myself. 🙂
Your poems speak to me and are helping me like nothing has before
Thank you is all I can say
