Blindly Hoping Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

On this cool and humid summer eve
I feel lost and in-between
In sadness hidden and unseen
In lonliness I grieve

I feel ashamed inside
to know I've been so blindly hoping
struggling to hang on to life and barely coping
with an empty heart open wide

In my own broken sadness
I've tried to give others kindness
as my light slowly fades to blindness
they are my only break in the madness

Such beautiful souls I have met
so easy to see their luster
I give them all the care and hope I can muster
They deserve more kindness than they get

I dream of love and affection
and kindness ever tender and warm
and oneday the clearing of the storm
that blows incessently in my direction

Blowing salt on the wounds that will not mend
But my heart somehow endures the pain
and prays life is not in vain
so for now it's the needs of others that I tend

Happy only for the comfort of a friend
