There are times when I am blue. There's no point in lying.
So I try to write it down,  to keep myself from crying.
I really am quite grateful, to say I have a friend.
Someone who is there, with caring shoulders to lend.
But he's not here to comfort me, when my nights turn blue.
When I feel forsaken, and not knowing what to do.
Sometimes I need more. Just a simple touch.
Just to know I'm loved, would mean so very much.
So I write to gain control, for soon this night will end.
Tomorrow I'll feel better,  until night comes 'round again.
Then once more I'll struggle, to keep the blues away.
Waiting for the dawning, and just another day.

If you can't make it so,
you need to let it go!

There are times when all we can do is wait for the dawning of a new day and then grab every bit of sunshine in it that we can.  Your rhyme and cadence were a real treat to read and I very much enjoyed.

Thank you Mark.
There is always hope in tomorrows and my shade of blue is becoming lighter. ;-)

Kitty darling girl your writing is always superb and this is no exception. The tears you have cried have fallen like diamonds on these blue pages and glittering have illumed then with your beauty. Never will you run out of hope for it follows you and here in this sanctuary you will find soul’s ease.

Always you shine darling girl and always your words stir the touch of love that lives still in us all. I love this utterly utterly it is beautiful and it’s presentation is perfect. I love this absolutely love it, well done, beautifully written


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
