Trouble’s sepulchre;
Redacted light, monochrome focus —
Overgrown blurred mausaleums,
Utmost oppression.
But, somehow those
Light and temporary afflictions
Exchange for us riches beyond measure.

In response to two challenges:
#TDWC – ThursdayDoors Writing Challenge hosted by Dan Antion at No Facilities
#W3 – David at Skeptics Kaddish W3 #55, where this week Punam challenges us to write an acrostic on any of the following topics: discipline, enthusiasm, meditation, tumult, and trouble.
