Here Again

[Jo Frumple]

Overall, I really like it! Interesting that you have this circular despair going on (at least that's what I got, maybe I'm off) but at the same time you have an "unexpected bolt of lightning" and something "electrified" which I wouldn't expect if one is going through a mental state where one has been before, seemingly numerous times. Also I get the idea from the third stanza of this endless kind of well of questions, then you give the reader a sampling of some of these before ending with the beginning, which I like.

Hope this helps!

How am I here again?
To the place where fire
burns from cold, ashen embers

As unexpected as a bolt of lightning;................Yes, you might want to consider editing this and try to shorten it a bit. Perhaps
                                                                          eliminate one or both of the 'as's. Otherwise I like these lines.
Electrifying .................................................................I like this.
what has gone to the grave

Unearthed from beneath
a current of questions,........................Really like it.
of possibilities,...........................What if you took out both "of"s and maybe that 'and'? "Possibilities melting, bending," and added an
                                                   adjective for 'pillar'? As this poem seems to be about confusion and potential despair, it may fit better to describe the
                                                         pillar of faith as somehow weakening or crumbling. I think that would bring stronger images to mind as well.
of melting and bending
faith’s pillar

All, for what?
For torture of the soul?
Self-pity?............................''all, for what'' kind of breaks the rhythm a smidge but not too much, however, when you have this little line 
                                            following so soon it rather broke things up too much for me. Consider adding some more words to 
                                            lengthen this line.
For weeping as a willow
reaches downward
to meet the earth?......................Really like these few lines about the weeping willow.
For floundering as a fish
searching in circles?

Back to where I began.
How am I here again?
