Why does it always seem to be
so difficult and hard to see?
Why can’t I make the right choices
and once be heard over these voices?

Why does my heart say I don’t know?
Must it be this, just let it go?
Why do the tears fall from an eye?
Yes, I ask simply, tell me why?

I feel so helpless, I cannot move
I feel so alone, out of the groove
I think my choice, isn’t the one
Why, oh why...can’t it just be done?

I rack my brain, my soul does scream
I sometimes feel, is this a dream?
I have no way to say my thought
Is life a lemon that I bought?

Somehow...I know it will once pass
and life again will be mended glass
But now I just sit here and wonder
Why, oh why is my life asunder?

Exactly my thoughts today.  Well done, Magnus.

one might say that life gets torn asunder so that it can be put back together. . .

well done my friend. . .

Barry - I wonder about this also, sometimes inside it's a battle wondering...

(sigh) Oh Barry, I too always question why the path ahead is always so camouflaged to us all and only anticipation can help us face the inevitable, this is very thought-provoking! (smiles) Always trust your instincts and everything will feel so right in the long run, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Magnus darling boy Oh my I’m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and form in this is absolutely excellent. I’m sitting here with my mouth making a silent oh of awe. This is really beautiful writing. YOU do KNOW I simply LOVE your writing don’t you?

I can actually feel the depth of this, this is utterly utterly wonderful. Truly awesome writing you are always a fabulous writer. Utterly utterly exquisite, maybe one day I suppose I’m gong to read your words and the magic connection between eye and heart will be gone. But not today and I hope not for a long long time, possibly that day will come when I start writing short replies. smileAbsolutely perfect darling boy

  
Love and warm stuff

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

I will refrain from singing a chorus of "High Hopes" (smile?)

Seems you wrote this from the bottom of the pit, my friend. Heartfelt hugs to you Mag.

trip, slip, flip
hard to keep a grip
when decisions go wrong
and more will come along
