This Too Shall Pass


I'll be alright,
I guess...
I know this loneliness will pass...
It's a temporary
reminder
of the injustice of this world...

I'll be strong, 
I guess...
I'll resist the tempations
flying about
in my head,

in front of my face,

in my dreams...

on my doorstep.

They are just
parts of my journey...

I know that I am not alone,
even when 
my friends are nowhere to
be found,
and the emptiness
I feel 
could fill a football
stadium...

Isolation is not 
punishment,
but rather a gift...

My heart is overfull,
and the longings
are cooled
by busy schedules...
but on lazy days like today,
I am in a funk...
wondering why...
But, I take comfort 
and believe.

This too shall pass...
