I am loving this one Lisa...these sections stand out for me:

"At times,
words elude us,
leaving only
empty thoughts
and remnants
of our beliefs.

Often, we
dance and fall
into the arms
of misery
and grief."

great job dear one!

a real gem Lisa

I like the changes made, and I enjoyed reading

your lovely poem again

these are my fav parts:

"Frequently, our
hopes, desires
and dreams
are stolen
by the crush
of disbelief.

All we love
and cherish,
we place on
the shallow
bed of a broken
leaf.

And pray within
the depths
of our precious
souls, someone,
some day, will offer
us gentle release."
