With my darkling

I read your words, daily my friends
And they dig deep
God what wisdom
is spawned
on these pages

Sometimes, you make me laugh
Or sometimes, you force a hard look
inside
Maybe that kind of pain
brings healing
or maybe just fresh
pain

I will not deny
That sometimes the
pain feels welcome,
deserved,
A sick acceptance
of punishment
I asked for

But sometimes
The words written by you all
Show me a love and
acceptance
I never expected
But I swim in it
And it is new
for me

So keep showing me truth
in words
keep inflicting pain with truth
Show me beauty, in small things
teach me lessons
of the soul

And I will learn
every day
from your words

There's a whole lot of learning
and I never go a day
without gaining something from
the wise words I see scattered
throughout Passions....

Yes, you say it beautifully, there are true treasures to find here. The only problem is time ... there seems to be never enough to go through all the posts.
It's also beautiful to be aware of the gifts we touch upon here.
Love, Margherita

Jason, I really love this. It's
so very true of the writings
here at Passions In Poetry.

Words of inspiration and beauty and raw intense honesty.  (Hopefully, paving the way to a good short story from you!)
