Thanks for the explanation Bodhi I realize that my writing fits into prose at times and poetry at times. You always teach me thanks and thanks that I feel so comfortable to share my heart with all of you. That is the biggest gift you all have given me here is to let a woman you haven't met vent in her writing about the life she experiences and how it affects her and to relate it back to you all in her unique voice. lol Hugs to you and be safe out there please.
Thanks all yes I have noticed the sadness all around but then again we or I start wondering if I am just focusing on the negative. The fact that we can feel for people so deeply that we haven't met that the loss ripples out and touches our humanity and reminds us all of our mortality. In that we remember the preciousness of our lives therein lies the hope.
This is for Garret he died this last week at age 21 of an accidental gunshot wound. This is the only way I can deal with this stuff is to write it and put it out there.
All around you witness people's lives stripped to their souls their anguish showing through as they have courage to carry on most that is except for those souls who take their own release from this existence and end it on their own
Stuck in the middle am I of old and young my share of sorrows and yes of course great joy on Earth this place I call home looking at the young so full of energy full of struggle to understand when life sometimes hits them square in the eyes
A mother of three a friend of my sister Angie going about making her life and loving her family went for a checkup found out she had cancer and died that night
I am not trying to get you down dear people for there is many wonders in life and we all have hope for our tomorrows waiting to see what's around the bend what's up ahead it keeps us moving forward with expectation hoping we can figure it out and loving our lives what incredible strength we have to endure this life
Time will take its toll on me maiden, mother and crone as the papery skin and hunch of my shoulders the slowness of my gait and lack of hearing rends the physical curtain in two That is if I am that lucky to become old and frail lol
As the body nears it's end It's as if something new will take hold the core essence will shine I will be stripped bare to my soul
For those of you who have read and commented on what I have wrote in the past and if you have time please read my new poem it is sad but as most of my writing has hope in it too. Am not trying to be a downer but it's my voice to all of you and if anyone connects with anything in it cool. Thanks for your time.
That's true I have come to respect quite a few people on here whatever their pics look like. I know it's not the same of knowing someone in person but the interactions have been just as real for me.
I like that good for you that you can't get rid of each other too many people out there these days disposing of others yippee for both of you. Did you meet her on here Ambrose? Wherever you met I am so happy for both of you. It's great to see love work out.
Yeah that's my fave too its a tree back in a park in Salem Oregon dang trees I know there are too many in Oregon. You always have good pics though Ambrose just liked that you put your beloved on here for us all to see very very nice.
To whom are you referring? What's great about any type of creativity is just that it can be an expression that does not have to be perfect. Yipppee for the rebellious poet lol.
The "useless moralizing" is from those of us who have had experience of having been in that situation and realizing it's not going to work. From being online for a while I have learned there are a lot of married men out there. At least he told you. So we are telling you or I in this case out of my experience. Don't go down that road find someone who is single and going to be there for you not someone who can only be there online or whenever they can get away from their poor unsuspecting spouse who doesn't have any idea the marriage isn't going well. Hmmm just an idea.
Feeling broken hearted so wrote something
