I’m in a war I cannot win While arguing with mind in day So injured by the bickering The striking swords that cut away I challenge but do tend to fall And wonder why I fight at all A keeper holds the minds fulfill But he has been and gone Caught up within a silent kill Finding he did not belong Left me here to find my way Fighting what won’t go away There’s voices that do haunt and strike The thoughts all grown from many years The constant wants and then dislike All protest and direction steers Slowly I do bow my head And wonder what to do instead |

Conundrums... sometimes lead to doldrums, methinks. But you continue to give it your best shot... and that's why I so enjoy your ponderings.  |

Hi Sunshine, I am fine, this just comes from the pen and some part of me, just nice to share with friends when something is there to give, thanks for your reply my friend, I will try to be happier, or at least try to write of happiness. Be well my friend and once again thank you for being there and taking time out. Sincerely Rick |

Don't misunderstand, Rick. I think what you wrote is just fine...and you let it out in a very thoughtful, respectiful way for the days when it just appears to be so gray... You did just fine. |

Hi Rick... I indeed know about this...Too many thoughts. You captured the feeling wonderfully. In the last few years, I have found meditation to be very useful in clearing the mind. The thoughts still come...but you gently remind them to go away! Most of the time, they will listen. Patricia |

Well, Dear Rick, when I get distracted by too many thoughts 'talking' at once, I just ignore all of them and put on some soothing New Age music!  Your poetry is always a pleasure to read! I seem to be able to identify with every poem that you write! Sending you a warm hug, Linda |
