Long Days.

The days are long

With no end in sight.
_____________________

Each slight

Feels heightened,

Every feeling hits us heavily

Like a week of stormy nights.
_____________________

No end to our discomfort,

No answers to our questions.
_____________________

All hell seems to break loose

In our hearts

And all around us.
_____________________

Where do we go,

When does it end?

How do we know

Who’s our foe

Or friend?
_____________________

When the one we battle

Is sight unseen,

Place unknown?
