When I expose my feelings something inside of me tells me I won't be the same. I read the morning news I get the longing blues too many thoughts I can't explain. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man. The worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. When I see a moonbeam above a silent stream like a vision in the night, I see the wisdom I see the everything I see the only peace in sight. It's there I get thinking what makes it all so bold when you're living the gift of life those precious times glow Lord I'd like to know where I'm going by good-bye. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man the worst won't break me never escape me the rest can heal me I can heal the rest. And if I stayed there I'd never get anywhere but I can come back in time. It's in that moonbeam it's in that silent stream it's in the reason there's a why. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

PT darling boy, I’m completely awed by this delight. Oh how you write, and how much I love it when you do so. Phrases as elegant as only you know how to present them, flow like a clear stream of liquid light, words placed with the delicacy of a master confectioner places his sugared violets. This is utterly utterly divine. Purely magical darling boy, utter bliss  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

"Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man the worst won't break me never escape me the rest can heal me I can heal the rest."  (big hugggssssssss) Oh Eric, I know just how you feel, I'm tired and always depressed when I hear of bad news all the time in the world while there's nothing ever good that comes up, and I only wish we can always turn to what is good, for it is faith and hope that builds us all, and I think there is too much drama in the world, so we are always overdramatic! (sigh) My heart goes out to you, God Bless You, you are a true angel of words and I wish the best for you always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Good news tends to shift the spirit. I like the self-search in your poem; (not sure if that was part of your meaning). Some people don't look far enough into themselves to try to view their shortcomings and correct them. L |
