This is my third attempt to thank you all for your comments. I am very honored and pleased that The Descent relates. Thank you. I guess I am not managing the navigating yet.

Having been there - in fact, owning a crumbling mansion of my own there - the essence of this poem resonates within me. We need to know we're not alone, Patricia; i hope your friend realises how lucky they are.

Patricia, I see that you are relative newcomer to WOL. Welcome indeed. I have been a member since 2017 and find the site a valuable resource whereby one can submit one's poems and recieve good constructive criticism. This poem is one many can relate to including myself. Plunging into the depths of despair is often inexplicble but there often comes a point when our spirit is uplifted and our self esteem regains its posture within us. Your poem describes well this transformation.
Thank you and I look forward to reading more of your work.
Keith

This was written for a friend who was going through some very heavy psychological challenges. This forum is the first time I am sharing my work, I am starting with the 'old' writings.
