Possessed I feel by some heart weak
Which claims my time and thoughts so deep
It takes my pen and words of ache
Awakens pain, for rhyme to make

The beckoning from other side
The messenger who’ll speak
The words flow without thinking
Possessed, they make me weak

But I must write each word within
For the suffering, speak their sin
Ease the heartache and their pain
So they may rest but once again

(big hugggssssss) Oh Rick, I understand this feeling ever so well, sweet friend, I feel it is much more dangerous to just bottle the ache inside of you but if you have the courage to let the words out and let others compassionately relate to you, it feels so much better! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Rick - your writings always leave me thinking and I am drawn back to read them again. Well done. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Rick - I like this writing, sad somewhat, but I liked it. Guess because I've been somewhere there...

Rick, this is a very good poem. I like it very much. It has a lot of truth in it. You  are right...when people write about the things inside, it does help them, as well as others, too. It lets people know that others have experienced the same things they are going through.
Thanks for Sharing.

Love to All,
Ethel
