~ In Fields Of Heather ~
{on pain of truth}
I see not through, the pain of truth
God does such doom forbid
And in my despair, I find comfort there
Knowing well the works I did
So in my race, for my father's grace
Where I longed to bask forever
I was torn asunder, raped and plundered
And left to die in fields of heather...
Where such a crime it is, to pray for bliss
Where no one can survive such a hell
When pills can't help, and doctor's can't tell
Where 'in your mind' you dwell
And all friends pleas, you dodge with ease
With 'wherefores' and 'whatever's'
With vain hopes dropped, all bullshit stopped
Lay loneliness in fields of heather...
Were I never to reply, were my lips to deny
I'd ever fed into my surrender
Oh I would fight, with all my heart, despite
Painful screams or comforts sweater
And yet to compare, my sins with theirs
I grow discreetly aware that I'm no better
And so each night I cry, and ever I try
For that estranged hand of happiness
To find me frolicking, in field's, of heather...

Hello Tony...
Oh my goodness!
Where such a crime it is, to pray for bliss
Where no one can survive such a hell
When pills can't help, and doctor's can't tell
Where 'in your mind' you dwell
And all friends pleas, you dodge with ease
With 'wherefores' and 'whatever's'
With vain hopes dropped, all bullshit stopped
Lay loneliness in fields of heather...
This is so heartfelt and very beautiful and sad all at the same time...
Only you could wrap it all together the way you do...
Thank you for sharing...
Best wishes and blessings!
Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas!
Your friend,

We each have our own cross to bear. But although the way is narrow and not to destruction broad, it doesn't mean it's so narrow that you have no company at all. We are pilgrims and we are progressing 😉.
BIG SHALOM TO YOU!

Yep, second stanza is also my favorite. Just outwardly flowing, seems that I can see the lines more than the words! So many connections. Builds speed aswell, filled with emotions. Overwhelming sense of futility in this one Tony! Hope you are alright my friend. Peace and smiles to you brother. FISH
