Hidden from View

In the house
In the trailer
In the cabin
In the motel
On the long ride home,

Hidden from view
     He lost his job.

Hidden from view
     Single mom struggles.

Hidden from view
     The diagnosis is grim.

Hidden from view
     Alcohol to cope.

Hidden from view
     Couch surfing.

Hidden from view
     Silent cries in the night.

Hidden from view
     He touched her years ago.

Hidden from view
     She mourns the loss of her One.

Hidden from view
     Blankets of depression.

Hidden from view
     Cancer pain erupts.

Hidden from view
     Collection calls unanswered.

Hidden from view
     Their son is gay.

Hidden from view
     Faithfulness dies.



Hidden from view
     Hope flickers dim.


Hidden from view,
A lead for a job
Better daycare
Hopeful treatment
Beginning to say no
A room to rent
Consolation
Strength to trust
Grief moves along

Glimmer of hope
Suffering ends
Acceptance and understanding
Vows renewed
Promise of a sunrise.
