Such beautiful music you find to write to, Michael! I love listening to this, while I read and write my thoughts on your poem. There is such a deep expression of sorrow here, it actually made my eyes overflow, and my heart ache too. The wedding that went missing, and the one left alone, weeping for someone who must now seem as if dead, and in a sense, is dead to the sorrowing one, is almost too much for a heart to bear. The phrase "weep with me Jesus" seems like a prayer for the "dead" to awaken, or the hope for joy to return, at least. Somewhere, somehow, the poet must come to know once more the joy that was lost, or this heart may not cease to weep. Thank you for a beautiful poem to go with this beautiful music. So sad, but a solid treat nevertheless.

"Awful" represents Earth's woes...
Her pains from addictions that we know...
The poverty, starvation, and thirst...
All come and take us to slow...
...
"Lord, is there a 'Silver Lining' of relief?"
"Or do we all must die and suffer from...
'The Beast?'
Hey, hope you are well.
Suffering from two recent surgeries.
Read...
"Grasping Air"
The pic will amaze you.

Did the bridge not show up? This is a mournful piece about the loss of love, and self-esteem. Within the lines of the poem, you have described the depth of despair and by comparing it with Mary's pain, you tell us of a deep love.
Thank you for sharing this well constructed poem,

Welcome back to you too--I am glad you waited to post until I returned from Cuba, so that I could read your freshly minted poem. Your opening stanza and its alliteration of "w's" is a very powerful description to begin and end your emotional poem. Hugs- Joan

Yep--they have free healthcare and free education through college, but they live crowded in collapsing structures and have to use food rationing cards and only make about $30 per month. There is no paradise on earth! Good luck with that spaceship- Joan
