—THE DARK DAYS—
By Charles Robert Lindholm
Why would you want to
live with someone
who’s not in love
with you?
it is a simple question
but I never could reply
I never found the answer
to the question why?
I stood in the debris
of bits and pieces
and memories
scattered about
I looked for the light
at the end of the tunnel
that I hoped
would lead me out
out of the heartaches
and tears
and unfounded fears
that kept looming just ahead
yes, time’s done it’s healing
though my heart keeps concealing
memories that hide in my head
the Dark Days have past
and I’m happy at last
but some questions
and memories remain
Reminders of “The Dark Days”

Sometimes the dark days are there to lead us to the light Charles. I am so pleased that yours has begun to shine again. There will always be questions but we can answer them from a much better place. Nice poetry.

Ahh, You are so right about that! And we appreciate it more when they are over. I debated with myself whether or not I should publish these but thought I surely wasn’t the only one that has gone through them and it might be something that others can identify with and help those in the middle of it and be good for those who have gone through it to reflect back and be thankful it is in the past!
Sometimes it takes a number of years before we can look back with a clearer view of things??
As Always, thanks Davy for coming by and commenting!

No problem Charles and I agree the experience makes us better people. I am going to be hanging out with you this Thursday if that’s ok with you. I’m even doing you your own T shirt.
