Sleeping without resting. Eating without taking nourishment. Existing without living. Watching time pass while achieving nothing. Life has dug a deep and very dark hole, and then thrust me over the edge to fall into blackness.
I’ve forgotten nothing. The sounds of the cities, the roar of wind in the mountains, the thunder of mighty waves. And of course the treasured memories. The friends and companionship. The face and voice of the loved.
Turn by turn I’m trying to claw my way back up into the blessed light of the ‘rifter.
