How fragile the balance of good and bad How narrow the difference of pain and pleasure How jolting the agony of reality How exquisite the pain!!! Some wounds go straight to the soul Some words cut like a knife Some things cannot be overcome How black is soul's blood as it drains So cold and so pleasantly numb So dies hope I would scream if I had a voice I would cry if I had tears I would rage if I had the will All that's left is silence....... Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

i would not have thought children inspired this...wonderful writing though... Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

peppermint, This is superb. Agreeing, there is a fine line; I have to remember, as long as I have a line, I have a choice. Star "How fragile the balance of good and bad How narrow the difference of pain and pleasure How jolting the agony of reality" |

'I would scream if I had a voice I would cry if I had tears' Wow! Very powerful words here, peppermint! Excellent write! sp  Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Peppermint, This is very well written, so much feeling shown here. "I would scream if I had a voice I would cry if I had tears I would rage if I had the will All that's left is silence......." Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

HUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHH!!!!! I can here this one sneaking up on me. I liked this one Peppermint35. I read it a couple of times and it's just something about your words that rang so true. It seems that this poem tells how I have felt many times in the past. Great Write. Garfield |

Let me thank you all as a group!!! This child is an adult child who has a serious drug problem/health going downhill very fast...it's one of those get clean or get dead situations....the thought of that being the end result...makes for a pain so great, there is only silence..

some people say that humanity is defined by its suffering. This too will pass, hope will return and things will be bright again. Keith W. Mullin Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you. |
