Yet, I Plod On

Tectonic, the force
required to move
this wall of shame

Erasable, the missives
I write to defend my worth –
pencil strokes that only mock

Unsustainable, the hope
that life should ever receive
my efforts as more than folly.

(Art my own)

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  4. I’m pondering your last stanza…I’m not so sure that hope is unsustainable, I always think it exists even when we don’t admit it to ourselves…Another great write!

      1. Art affects the recipient in ways the artist may never know … art serving beyond any given intention of artist … trust that you’ve been gifted a way of communicating that benefits others, VJ. (So glad I’m on the receiving end!)
