GAPING HOLE

It’s not the Fact of a Hole –

-- life is life --

It’s the gape-ing-ness,
The ravaged-edged-ness of it;
The where does it begin – or end-ness?
What can – WHO can –
fill the Hole?

I desire to not wallow –
I want to move on –
Yet I feel paralyzed –
Stricken –
Numbed by life’s trickery, treachery.
I can’t breathe deeply
b’cause the air brushes against
the rawness, the redness, the INFLAMED LIVIDNESS
of the Hole’s edges,
and is caught mid-stream.

In spite of the
pain, Fear, Stricken-ness,
what do I know?

My Father God is BIGGER
(He can fill the gape-ing-ness,
transform the Blackness to Light –
and infuse
PEACE, wonderful Peace).

My Father God REDEEMS –
(Period. He is the Eternity-Focused Eternal Father).

My Father God is KIND –
(He promised beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning).

My Father God is FAITHFUL -
(what He begins, He finishes –
He will not leave gaping ugly Holes).

-- I must remember,
moment by moment --

I am BLESSED –
My Dear, Most Dear, Husband loves me.
My Children and Grandchildren --
[Family-related and otherwise]
think I’m OK –- (usually) --
I am much blessed with
Faithful Friends...

--– a Future and a Hope.

All metamorphose to anointing oil,
gently showering,
soothing raw edges.

Healing WILL come – Through them all –
My Heavenly Father --
My Dear, Most Dear, Husband –
Family –
Friends.

The Hole will fill,
ravaged edges bound in Love.
