An old piece from Google Plus. 

Unfortunately, I never downloaded my account. 

Just a few remain via email notifications.  

They still fill me with curiosity when reading. 

Mysteries from the past that will always last. 

Salute. 

---------------

In the maelstrom of life

There's always an end

So don't just wander lost

Loveless and forgotten by God

That self-indulgent cognitive deep-seated emotion

Has never been a prerequisite 

Bestowed from strange unvisited realms 

From above

You just need to embrace all of your carefully camouflaged deep

Compartmentalised scars

To try to find your own Philosopher's Stone

Where it's just brimming with hope

Within your own hidden spiritual development

And maybe forgotten divine love

For it will help and support you 

Whenever you are stuck

Wallowing knee-deep 

In your life's own 

Ever-growing mud
