Good evening everyone. I desperately wanted everyone to know tonight how much I thank your for commenting on my work. I am reading tonight, but honestly do not feel the energy or the zest to comment.   I'm reading, and all of your words are comforting me in some small way, but tonight I need to share, and I ask that everyone bears with me as I usually read and comment more than post.  Below is but a token of my thanks. All I have to give for now...  
Although tonight I cannot seem to give,
I do give this at least.
A thank you for your words of comfort,
For you are the night stars that twinkle with me
In this sea of poetic beauty.
Many nights have seen me raging, ragged, and fluctuating,
And yet you've all been here.
Withing the reach of distance,
Reading
Understanding
And speaking your thoughts on words I cannot keep to myself.
I thank you.

still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

You know sometimes I do the same, I just barely have the energy to read, never mind comment.  I just assume everyone is mature enough to know they get "read" and the comments no matter how nice, are social jestures. Some days you feel like a comment, and some days you don't!  You are most welcome, and I don't care if you ever thank me for my comment, as they were for you and require no return, so I am at least one less to answer, starting with this one! Here's a hug girl (hug), sounds as if you could use a friendly hug

Oh, you are so welcome, Jenn, yes, sometimes I love to just sit and read and sometimes I hope everyone knows how much I appreciate a reply, please keep writing, your words are important.

This I understand. I read and comment as I so feel moved to do. Of course when I come back later and find out that I misinterpreted the poem I feel like an idiot. Then I go back to reading and not commenting for awhile. But I feel safe in reading yours today. I hope things are looking up for you.
