| "Sorrowing Old Man" (At Eternity's Gate) by Vincent van Gogh |
White lights
Blank faces
White rooms
Blank places
Echoes in the hallway
Hollow voices in the air
Jagged reflections
Warped emotions everywhere
Sadness turns to madness
Crying, kicking, screaming, silence, endless staring
Mourning the death that should have been
I think of God His Son not sparing
River of life cuts its way towards death
Our navigator brings us to Hades, through chutes and ladders
Fire and brimstone awaits our arrival
Gnashing of teeth is mere endless, mindless chatter
Control is a commodity
Situation, Thoughts, Feelings, Behaviors
Cognitive therapy for emotions and actions
Optimistic change if we dare

I love the line "sadness turns to madness." Very well written poem. Also, great allusion to "How Great Thou Art" :)
