"desponding" poems
His master taken from his head,
Elisha saw him go;
And in desponding accents said,
"Ah, what must Israel do?"
But he forgot the Lord who lifts
The beggar to the throne;
Nor knew that all Elijah's gifts
Would soon be made his own.
What! when a Paul has run his course,
Or when Apollos dies,
Is Israel left without resource,
And have we no supplies?
Yes, while the dear Redeemer lives,
We have a boundless store,
And shall be fed with what He gives,
Who lives for evermore.

Dreams
Optimistic, benevolent,
Inspiring, believing, succeeding
Igniting luminous fervor, extinguishing perturbed hope.
Idling, desponding, flattening
Placid, callous,
Reality

It's true that in my brevity of life, I was censured for trouble. Constantly considered the desponding mind of a normal boy, and why or how did I become what I am. My answer to them has always been the same, since I was just a child, your deplorable young blood has been ripped up. Thrown to the side for the gibbet by all the wrong scrupulous attitudes, and I'm running out of deference to give. The prodigious lies brought me here, and I'm glutted throughout the mind, soon to be forever blind.

Solitude
Can be spent
Enjoying what is in your midst
Solitude
Can be refreshing
Refilling the cup you carry
Solitude
Can become hard
As thoughts swirl in one’s mind
Taunting us with unpleasant
Or daunting views
Laced with brooding anxiety
When ruminating becomes
Mulling over fears
Our negative thoughts
Become erroneous ideas
That feed even more
Agony and fretting
Name the feeling
Of desponding anxiety
Pull yourself away
From within yourself
Back to the beauty of the solitude
And experience the rejuvenation
of each new moment
