I am not made of rock nor am I made of stone I cry tears like any other I fear being alone. Sands of time beat upon me some days my heart bleeds dripping pain mixed with love beating steadily, having needs. I am but a blooming flower waiting past a winter freeze for the sun to warm my petals blowing in a summer breeze. I have weathered storms of life survived to see skies of blue my heart has not turned to stone it beats with love~ for you. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

Thank you so much Denise, I appreciate it. This was one of those poems that was written more about the way I felt at the time I wrote it than it was for striving for poetic form or style. It just felt right. Hugs. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. Donna Smith |

Writing how you are feeling at the time makes for some of the best poetry that there is, in my opinion! Hugs to you too!  Denise |

You have written your heart here (and coincidentally maybe a bit of mine, too), and although I see nothing to complain about in the form, it loses its importance when you show those feelings so well.To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

This is a very beautiful penning with a tremendous spilling of your heart in it's ink. Loved the devotion it conveys. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

'Sands of time beat upon me some days my heart bleeds' 'my heart has not turned to stone it beats with love~ for you.' I absolutely love these lines, Gentle Spirit! Hauntingly familiar sentiments you've penned here. Great work! sp Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |

I like this: - "I am not made of rock nor am I made of stone I cry tears like any other I fear being alone." A great poem! Jon |
