disillusion comes easily
abandoned but preserving
a lone voice
that speaks the truth
crying in the wilderness
echos into eternity
unaccepted but resolute
steadfast and believing
promises across generations
call me John

“unaccepted but resolute”… wow. the humanity you brought with these three words. Goosebumps. Not sure why, but this line gripped me.
Sorry it took so long.

Was wondering where you disappeared to. The poem to me says never give up hope. There is always hope. 🙂

I was up that way, sort of. Guemus Island for a week. Beautiful weather! And actual sand on the beach, if you can believe that. A good foot deep too.
