3 of 3 : WITH OR WITHOUT

Carole Stolz 19th January 2011

Some are without and some are with, even within.
Let the reader alone decide which side he sides with.

WITHOUT, not with.
   Alone...
      Hopeless...
         Helpless...
            Hapless
               Cold...
                  Nightmare unfolding with no end to the abyss of loneliness.

WITHOUT,not within.
   Outside.
      Not a partaker of the Maker's life.
         No light.
            No love.
               No reason to be.
                  A nothingness
                     An eternity of emptiness and agony.



WITH. Not alone.
   Together
      Ever present friend.
         Never ending friendship
            Companionship, where love and hope link arms
               And warm laughter is the music
                  Underscoring the dreams.
                     Of better days,
                        Where never ending sunrays light up the horizon.

WITH. Within.
   Inside.
      An insider.
         An understander.
            A truster where understanding fails
               A trustee of truths
                  A deep warm certainty that the way is right.
                     A sense of purpose in the fight.
                        No stranger to loss or pain or trial,
                           but no denial that the end is worth it all.

Joyful hope.
   - Hope of Joy.
