There are feelings that reflect this me
My inner self that you can’t see
One servant to humanity
With words, just words to give

I wish that I could guide each heart
Before at end it breaks apart
But then again the day does start
And that is how we live

I see the pain in they I know
Feel the hurt that they don’t show
Give the verse that seems to grow
But nothing turns the past

Write of what I feel is they
In hope of peace and joy today
In wonder of each yesterday
That in the mind does last

Joining with the Passions team
So together we can scream
Searching where the grass is green
And gates are open wide

Then we servants of the pen
Write of life and blues again
Searching, but not knowing when
The muse stands by our side

Yes, most definitely.  Well done Rick.

Rick,

Good last lines in the strophes.  I'm afraid the rest comes across as rather forced.

Hi Magnus, great to get your reply again my friend, thank you very much.

Hi Drauntz, thanks for the visit and your reply, enjoyed.

Hi Bobby, good to have you here, you could be right my friend, just writing as it comes to me, before I lose it forever. I wish it was all perfect for my book of poetry, but it will come as I practice. Enjoyed your honesty and your visit, thank you.

Your words always flow off my tongue as I read you out loud.  You poems have an ease to them - and I really enjoy the postive messages which reflect who you are.

Hi, Rick!  What common ground we stand upon with trembling quill to pen our hopes and apirations, or to just touch another heart.  Great thoughts and a lovely poem, you have shared here.   ~ K

How very true. *S* And we're always sucking down the thread of fear that she'll not return. *S*

Superb write, my friend... beginning to end! *S*
