Words a plenty come gurgling forth
When I want to write then they run north
When I think them they seem so plentiful
Then I want to write them and…
They have lost their form
What has happened there was a gathering storm
Then the things that come out are just a shower
Or even less than that
Sometimes I ache to say what is inside
I reach and pull and it seems to hide
Still aching and retching my inner self
I am beside myself with need
I want so much to let it out
To say it well to say it now
To write a wonderful poem from deep within
I try and try and try again
Sometimes it finally has its way
And enters into the things I say
I write it down and stand firmly amazed
That it came from me still puts me in a daze
But other times it never surfaces
Just stays inside and stokes my furnaces

Isn't it sooo very much fun when we struggle
to find what we feel is just exactly what we
have been searching for...for so long...

Then....out of the blue....poof!

(sigh) Oh Paul, I understand this feeling ever too well, sweet friend, so many of my poems in result then come from a bunch of random snippits tied together, making mine sound like nonsense! (big angel hugs) Your poetry is beautiful to us all, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Paul...I know exactly what you mean...
Many hugs and smiles to you~Nancy

  or merely a reflection of mine? ~
