A fine write Lisa. It is very gently written yet it has deep meaning. We all fall under the pressure of life, but with hope we can make it through the roughest of times...great write

Thanks for posting

great poem Lisa

love these closing stanzas:

"Desperately, I seek
protection in
the depths of
heavy shadows.

As I cling to my faith,
I pray I can find
peace hidden in
its deepest fold.

If I can achieve this,
perhaps, I will avoid
the dreadful coming
of tomorrow's rain."
