Hi, John! :)
I'll give it a shot, though my mind is always working against me. Haha

Same for most of us Matt but we keep on keeping on lol! Many thanks.

Indeed there are so many heartbreaking emotions. However, I feel we must live (truly live) in order to experience that beautiful bliss-- despite all things. I loved it. Simple, yet lingering.

Well done!

A beautiful, powerful message for the living. That was the hardest lesson for me, to find joy in the midst of the storms and the suffering. Yet we must, or we can never live in the depths of all the world has for us.

That is indeed true although I gess the options are limited. Many thaks for the comment.

and as that song expressed "we bleed just to know we're alive"
the pain, the joy, all part of living...
wise words here.

Indeed so Jacob. Sometimes we have no choice and carry the burden of all the cuts with us as we drink our morning coffee or brush our teeth for bed. Many thanks for reading.

You write beautifully, I'm after reading a few of your darker pieces ( seems we are more drawn to those ) ...
I enjoyed the simplicity of this piece.
