Graphic From Webshots

A place of mind deep down inside
Where fear and doubt sometimes abide
A place I try to push aside
Or else I want to run and hide

It is a place I never want to be
Where laughter and happy I seldom see
Where peace and contentment come not to be
From this place I forever try to flee

If I allow lifes trouble to leave its impression
Or when I let fear and doubt take possession
These feelings easily turn into depression
I need to fight this with much aggression

I must push away thoughts of this kind
Of troubles of life I have to be blind
When sweet peace inside I tend to find
Is when I keep you and your love upon my mind

Thanks, Julie. Yes, my Honey-Love is my
light in my darkness.
.

Dixie, I'm sorry that you can so relate.
It's not a good feeling to feel depressed.
.
.
Dawn, I am a fighter, but it's just at
times I do let things consume me. Then,
I really have to fight to get out of the moods.
.
.
Thanks suthern, for agreeing with me.
I do believe that is my answer.
.
.
Michelle, we really do feel the same way
about our "Loves", don't we?
.
.
I really appreciate all of you for reading and
replying on my poem. I know that it's hard
to know what to say when someone writes their heart like this.
I thank you all very much for your replies.
Heart hugs to you all,  
Ethel

(big angel hugs) I understand this place ever too wel, dearest friend, as I have so many child fears and abuse memories tucked away in mine and I just want that all to erode away and for that cavern to become a beautiful amethyst cave! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, know we're always here if you need a hug from those terrible thoughts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
