Author's note: Although I have used the royal we in this poem,for the sake of form, I am not assuming that my opinions necessarily reflect those of the forum.Thank-you Maureen's gone so is Long John at passions, things must change my heart bleeds for those in need but more for those estranged passion's pride meets needs inside but also wears some out personalities have histories we know not one thing about although we reach and try to teach their problems are not ours when they're gone we must move on give other's hearts and flowers we grieve a while but later smile when talent we impress new writers here we fill with cheer and thoughts of tenderness but oh the place is colder for people who are lost before we get much older we need to count the cost I'm not complaining or friendship straining to say these words I feel it's just it seems to live our dreams we need, become more real Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

keith~ lovely poem. & i do happen to agree with what you have penned here. passions is a very special and dear place. through one another's works we develop bonds and ties that will never be broken...not even when we venture from this place. *hugs* take care m'friend. amy  "The head learns knew things, but the heart forever more practices old experiences" |

Kethry: I thought this was a very good poem. I think and hope that one thing that can keep this from happening is for others to concentrate on the poem, support and encourage the person, but remember above all, behind the poem is a person with real feelings and problems and yes, we all have them. No one, and I mean no one is more sensitive than I am and I have never been hurt verbally by anyone on Passions, just the opposite, I've found nothing but the most respectful comments, and I hurt for those who experienced something different. Sometimes we just don't know why someone left, life, moving on, and we miss them! I was going to leave for an extended period myself to study poetry. I've found I learn more about it here than anywhere. So here I am Good to have you back. Kathleen |

Kethry, At times there are moments we need to endure. We may not all agree. From my early experience here at Passions, I have found some very caring people in fact everyone has been superb. Supporting each other. Loved the poem. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

I may not post often, but I'm an avid reader here. It's sad when poets I enjoy leave and sadder when it's because they were hurt. Loved this poem Keth. It brings home the way we need each other. P.S. welcome back to you as well. It is a happy time when a poet returns. |

Great to see you back, Kethry! Your poem is so true, it is sad to see some one leave here. I enjoy so many poets work here and it's sad not to see new poems posted by them. I may not get here as often as I would like but I do love this place and I think the people are amazing. Again, welcome back. Dee |

PIP is different things to different people... but we're all real people with real feelings... and occasionally, that's forgotten. Sometimes we find healing here... other times, we find hurt. Excellent poem! |

Maureen is a close friend of mine and she may be gone from Passions unfortunately but i still care about her and her life outside of passions..i can read her poems in other forums..as i did before i came here..I enjoy Passions and most have extended a warm welcome to me..and i thank Wil/bill for telling me about Passions as this is the only forum i write in now.. ~Victoria~ A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

Kethry, oh this is so good, there's much truth you've written here. I do miss some of the people who've left, but I've always believe that everyone must follow their own path. If and when they return they will be back because this is where they need to be. I hope I have never said or written anything that offends anyone, because doing so would hurt me too. Still if I have ever done so I'm sorry. I really like this one, it's written so well. By the by, welcome home, you know I've missed you. Take care Marsha  |

Thanks everyone for your kind words, this was not aimed at anyone in particular, I too have received many words of encouragement from this place.It's just when I came back and I read the sadness and the hurt which may or may not have been there (my perception's not all that clear these days) I felt I had to write this. I guess my point was that behind the poems there are people who have their own issues that we know nothing about. It was a message to myself more than anything else. And now that I've rambled off the page, I'll stop Again thanks.Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

I must say I agree with you totally - Maureen is (I hope still) a friend of mine as well - and I do believe she wasn't adequately supported - altho I blame no one for that. some are very very sensitive, some are very thick skinned - and we'd do well to be aware I intend to propose another suggestion on this subject - we'll see if anyone salutes |
