The mind never ever sleeps Seems to run steadily into insane illusions, delusions, confusions. Sleep brings but a calm to the mind.. Waiting for the rise of sun upon matted eyes of seeing. Sudden creak of a wrought gate, opening against the flood of thoughts haplessly wandering in search of.. Reality....asking that a comforting blanket be held within the arms...arms grasping for arms of tenderness, compassion... An ear of confidence, trust.. Oh, if only the mind had brakes to slow the tide of anxiety, of fear and painful past memories starkly held within the light of guilt... Let go...let go....loosen the grasp of me, that I might wander aimlessly, smiling.... That I might once be free...of myself... And become simply me.... |

  (big hugggsssss) Letting go can indeed be such a hard thing to do, I guess the best way is to simply believe in ourselves and love ourselves as we know the worst is behind us and tomorrow lays an anchor to promise! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, you always write of life son well, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Barry Perhaps there is more to you then you think...your poem is digging for it, in the deep of you, and it is all simply you. |
