chasms within me yawn toothy
inhale sharply in chuckly hitches
they opened in horror unspeakable
and unknowable at the same time
blockades destroyed by strange forces
of fire fierce hungry and gluttonous,
that devoured every heart untended
my only option for living
it is total surrender to sorrow
embracing these unending trials
that teach spiritual lessons of courage
in the facing of dark deepest fears
in discovering this gradual depth
of my strength of my courage my love
it is horrible challenging painful,
but if it weren’t for all this suffering
I would not know myself near as well
how I’ve lived and I’ve chosen experienced
so I do not give up I have hope
I am grateful for difficult things
that have made me into who I am
Charissa's Grace Notes 
elegant, great words and images!
Thank you! I was a bit struggly with this one, it felt hitchy and glitchy, and I finally decided that was its nature and let it stretch its legs a bit
