I try not to let my thoughts wander
Counting blessings in preference to ponder
See the hurts of the world cut too deep
Engulfed in sadness i cannot sleep
So many kinds of sorrow
With little hope for tomorrow
Those who are hungry
People in pain
The homeless are out in the cold again
I offer inadequate prayers
That less suffering will be theirs
But this world simply hurts too much
So my nights will be tainted as such
please excuse the sadness of this. i have been suffering depression lately and it helps to put these feelings into words.
hugs from june x

From your pen, I know you have compassion.
And depression is but an emotion,
A state of mind where I have been.
Scared not to express yourself,
Dare to be vulnerable, for
For that's the only way to heal.
As for me, nothing worth more than honesty.
Be honest with your own feeling,
For you own them and no one else.
I once heard one needs to keep in touch
With ones feeling to know oneself.
And here is a safe guarded place,
For me and you to share a cup
Of tears of joy, sorrow and friendship.

June:  It's so good that you feel free to open your heart to the friends you have made at Passions.  I'm sure it helps to get these feelings out into the open and know that you have sympathetic eyes and ears receiving them!  Hope that things will be better for you very soon.

Awww two very insightful poetess...may i join in too?

I see colors that tell of depression
Blue, grey, black expressions
Maybe I've got a sad emotion
Feelings that need to be understood
And its here that I find solace
Moments of sharing in passions

Love
Michelle

If there cannot be equal in affection, then let the one with more be me - midnightblues™

Dear June; I too have known these sad times...some how they always pass...so cling to this hope and my prayers are with you too. Ellie  ( somewhere on page 2 or 3 is a poem I wrote called "The Way of Truth" please read ir cause it's about what you are feeling ...and may help.)

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Dear Ethel,
i am sad that you have to suffer from this too. I hope that you dont suffer it often now. thank you for your words. they are a comfort to me.

Dear Betty,
you are right. I have found a warm and caring family of friends in this little corner and i am afraid you are now stuck with me lol. You are all such wonderful people and i feel able to express my emotions with you here. thanks for your good wishes too, i am starting to recover again now.

Passing Shadows,
I truly hope you are not often plagued by depression as it is so awful. I feel it helps though to write and hope that it helps you too. thank you for reading this one.

Michelle
I loved your verse and i also find solace in passions with friends like you. thank you so much.

Marge ,
you care so much for people that it makes me cry.The things you say are always just so right. thank you for being there.

Ellie,
I read your poem again tonight after you mentioned it and it is just perfect. I hope one day i can write poetry like you.
Thank you for sending me back to read it as once again it gave me much comfort and peace. i am going to keep it now and look at it whenever i freel low as it is so powerfully positive.

thanks.


Love to all of you from june x
