This wandering path, at first meandering slowly through a forest glen into a wilderness of cactus studded soil, occasional boulders dotting the dry and arid land of time now past...gone. Treacherous this walk among the cliffs where countless serpents dwell in wait of a swift and silent strike into the vein. Yet, though I am among peril I walk willingly into the sunset before the evening chills brings the shiver of cold as well as uncertainty.... Soles of a soul stumbling against the parched tongue, the cracked lips of forgiveness. Walking into the shadow of doubt, once cool, now but a mere whispering knell of life’s bell, as time sifts the glass of hours in wait....As life, though struggling, goes on into the glow of a red sky before darkness brings sleep wrought with dreams of what is yet to be known....or seen. |

Every day brings an unknown each new sunrise brings a miracle... we fear what we do not know we rise in the face of it to conquer humbly.... My thoughts are with you. |

Barry, I do know your eloquent words. The strength and light are available to you, my friend... Ask and you shall receive. You are in my thoughts, as well. You did know that, didn't you? Patricia |

Very powerful write, dear Barry. Soles of a soul stumbling against the parched tongue, the cracked lips of forgiveness. As long as we are sustained by even a little dose of trust, even the unknown is less frightening. Love, Margherita |

Barry, you may not be posting as often as you once did, but each poem you write is absolutely brilliant. I literally was going to quote my favorite lines of this little masterpiece, but then I would have had to write out the whole poem. The depth of emotion that you are able to convey is palpable. Your words reach out and grab your reader's attention--and empathy. Wonderful writing from a very fine poe-et! Lindda |

Barry~ Your writing is so fluid and it speaks to me clearly and so beautifully. I wonder if you have an idea how your words effect me. Thank you for this wonderful show of wisdom in words. |
