Daily Joy Writings - Day 8

 Day 8: Rediscovering Joy

Sometimes, it's too easy

 To feel the dark.

To slip back 

into, what has become a 

comfortable embrace. 

To sink back down

Into the fear, the worry, 

the self doubt. 

Far more a challenge 

To instead, 

Look up. 

And out 

Of your black hole. 

To cast a grappling hook

up into the air

With a prayer, 

That it will connect

With something 

Solid, 

and good. 

And that thing, that is good. 

For it feels good.

Will reach down, 

with it's Warm strong arms

and lift you up, 

and out.

Leaving behind your cloak

 of  darkness, 

pooled at the bottom 

of the pit 

below.
