The Demarcation Zone Poem by John Duffy

(A lone voice whispers)

As individuals, we don't sometimes realise the scope of utter hopelessness, until we unknowingly endure it.

Or witness it.

But within all that emotional spiritual warfare.

A glorious Demarcation Zone always exists.

Between Pain and Salvation.

Just awaiting courageous souls to cross it, to reach a new emotional nation.

To find a new paradigm of looking at something filled with hope.

To cope

A whisper of something glorious.

Something to soothe the courageous.

So when Hopelessness strikes.

Look deep inside and hear that inner voice whisper.

Hold strong.
Try to stay the course.
Cling on to your strength.

Let's cross over The Demarcation Zone.

So when darkness looms.
When all things seem despondent and desperate.

Like Wormwood Star, The Dark Comet.

Always remember.

Your part in The Great Game,
Is not over yet.

A demarcation zone is a boundary or limit that separates two areas.

In this case, Hopelessness and Hope.
