When Darkness Descends

I’ve been thinking a lot about death due to a recent suicide.
When darkness descends
and makes a nest inside you
it’s difficult to shoo away.
Tedious to dismantle,
twig by twig.
Joy may come in the morning to most
but not to all.
And to those who have already flung themselves from this life
I believe God has caught them on the other side and is holding them, still.

Take a walk with me by reading my daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.

If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.
