Stolen Peace

...and just like a thief in the night, my temporary peace of the day is gone, taken, stolen without my consent. replaced with pain. doubt sets in once again. talks about the future leave me longing. talks about the past leave me guessing. the intense aching for my little girl is back tonight and so is the fear that this is, in fact, not a dream but my on going reality. uncertainty has crept in and left my mind a mess. the crafty thing my mind does, like today in protecting me from my painful thoughts for a bit, must be absent at the moment. to take it's turn, doubt has come out of hiding and laughed at me, reminding me that i am only a few hours away from it's familiar face.
