The Demarcation Zone

 The Demarcation Zone



(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.
