This is an oldie of mine but kind of a favorite as I'm going through this "who am I?" phase and I do believe I captured a truth in the end.  I'm so used to reaching out and finding no one there Sometimes I hate that part of me that always longs to share Alone is something I don't mind Yet sometimes I wish for more When lonely rain falls from my sky it always seems to pour I throw myself in everything to fill this empty space Yet in truth I run in fear from what I also seem to chase "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

Kellie, I like this is shows a sense of self along with the circular reasoning we all go through. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Dreamkeeper, The last two lines,is what many of us do many times. Our wants and fears are interwined.This reality is beautifully captured in his poem. Thanks. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

dreamkeeper - I can relate to this writing, as I also keep more than busy. I am always doing something. And I too, run in fear. BC |

This seems to hold a grand wisdom and a reflection of clearer truth than one might be willing to accept about oneself had one not seen so clearly. Am I making any sense? |

Beautifully articulated last stanza! Wonderful piece! "Death marks the beginning, not the end. It is our journey to God." --Billy Graham |

Thank you all so much. Getting to know all of you through your writing has been a cherished gift for me. Your friendship and support means the world to me. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

I think we've all experienced that pulling with one hand while pushing with the other conundrum... you've written it well! |

'Alone is something I don't mind Yet sometimes I wish for more When lonely rain falls from my sky it always seems to pour' Yes, this is so very true, dreamkeeper! You have expressed this feeling quite well! Great write! sp  do I believe we'd be better off apart? can I see my world without you in it? baby, not for a single minute... |
