How do you feel?

When all odds are against you

When nothing is in your favour

When your dreams turn to dust

When there’s none worthy of your trust

 

What do you do?

When your life turns upside down

When the sun refuses to shine

When you dread every waking moment

When you’re reluctant to call a crisis hotline

 

Will you flee or confront your fears?

Do you want to thrive or merely survive?

If you’re not living the life you want

Is there any point in being alive?

Prodigal Forever

The mother cries with relief

“I thank thee, lord

thou helped him survive”

overwhelmed with the sheer visceral joy of seeing him alive

the love in her heart overpowers the fear in her mind

he had run away to escape the world in which he was confined

 

All hail the prodigal son

for he has returned

no longer headstrong or obstinate

he staggers with an impish grin on his face

he plans to stay and mend his ways

and leave behind his carefree days

 

Or so she envisions.

With trembling hands

He opened the door

A million images flashed in front of his eyes

What he saw next made his heart sore

 

Lying on the bed

Draped with a clean white sheet

Her face was bloated,

Swollen and red

Scratches covering her feet

 

Her leg was bluish,

Breathing was ragged

One hand in a plaster, the other bandaged

Her body was brutally ravaged

 

The room seemed redolent of a strange eeriness

It reeked of death and acid

With no trace of dirt and painfully white walls

It somehow seemed placid

 

Other than the beeping monitors

The ringing telephone

The sound of rushed footsteps and hushed voices

An awkward silence hung in the air

He breathed a sigh of relief

When she fluttered her eyes

And silently hummed a prayer

 

In the middle of the night

He had received a call

There had been an accident

A ruthless case of hit-and- run

His mind began to whirl

He said he’d be there in an instant

 

She was rushed to the hospital

And put in intensive care

He had no hope she would survive

Sleep offered no comfort

For he had petrifying nightmares

 

As she now looked at him with dreary eyes

And motioned for him to come closer

A ray of hope warmed his heart

Time would heal all wounds

And soon they’d be celebrating the beauty of life with ardor. .
