About the Poem

Though life can sometimes seem like an endless journey of questions without answers, if we truly reach out beyond our inner walls, a lifeline awaits us.

This poem helped me to explore this feeling of hopelessness, and reminded me that in these times, friends and family are truly, only a phone call away. 		Love Poems

In Times Of
by Kit McCallum
My soul drifts aimlessly in times of hopelessness.
It searches tirelessly for meaning and truth ...
Yet finds no direction.

My heart bleeds quietly in times of loneliness.
It yearns to find warmth and happiness ...
Yet it somehow eludes me.

My eyes seek out visions in times of want.
They gaze endlessly through the blackness that envelops them ...
Yet they cannot see the light.

My ears listen earnestly in times of silence.
They search for familiar sounds to comfort and console ...
Yet they cannot penetrate the darkness that surrounds me.

My arms reach out frantically in times of despair.
They seek strength and compassion to enfold me ...
Yet they find nothing substantial to enwrap.

My mind cries out desperately in times of solitude.
It poses intense questions that demand answers ...
Yet there are none to be found.

***


My hand reaches out earnestly in these times of confusion.
It dials the number of a familiar and calming voice ...
And gratefully, my lifeline to sanity ... remains intact.

something that i can relate, really! just in time of my current status. everything happens for a reason, trials do come our way, but these are meant to be - to make us stronger. I really love the poem.

I think this poem is the best expression of hard times that everyone goes through but has no explanation to, times that the poet gracefully described in feelings and emotions. I was feeling bad today and the poem spoke to me . Thanx
