"Comfort food for the soul." I'm quite down, fellow prosers. Times like these, only poetry soothes me. Please write a lovely poem about comfort or comforting somebody. Make it at least 50 words. Tag me because I want (need) to read.

Now What?

There's something that is closed to you,

And nothing better's within view

But wait with courage, look beyond now

Though you don't know when or how.

When it's slammed shut in your face

And you're stuck between a rock and a hard place

Don't wish that you were dead

Glimpse the light that's just ahead.

You think your choices would be more

If life let you walk through every door

But don't settle for everything you see

Or you'll miss out on better opportunity.
