Consilium from The Outlier

(A lone voice whispers)



Have you ever encountered painful heartbreak, or are enduring, soul-destroying grief 


And sometimes sit alone in the silence


Praying for any form of spiritual relief 


If so, here are a few thoughts from a similar person, who's been through it all 


No matter what you feel or happens today


A new dawn will still always rise again, tomorrow


A chance to knock down, any hastily built, mental walls


A chance to find a new form of freedom, to flourish


To subdue, all those painful feelings highlighted with sorrow 


That no longer, nourishes 


Some may say, you've just got to forget the past


Use reconciliation, beyond reason to last


But I say, do it this way


Love those even more so, who've passed away 


And never again, believe in those 


Who once broke, your unswaying three pillars of trust 


By charging in like the doomed, British Light Brigade 


With all the sad games, they once played 


Leaving you standing alone

On parade,

For all to see


In depressions black dust

Counseling comes from the Latin root consilium, meaning “advice.”


Foundation.


Relationships 

Can you ever trust a person after being betrayed on any level?


Grief

Does time really heal, and do you want to forget someone special, you once loved?
