Every time
I think about crying
I shake my head, swallow it hard,
and keep on trying...

   {I whisper Help me get there....}

  There,
is that someplace,
      any place
that differs from
where I now am

because it is to dark here
and it  leaves me
feeling scared...

Right now
how melancholic
to have to
be    me....

The future comes in the form
of  another day,
and as he would say
Just because someone feels
something   somehow
in this moment,
right here, right now
doesn't mean
that they will

tomorrow. ....

seems that he was correct,
and I've found a new phrase
that I can borrow.

Time spent, tired, half in daze
eyes focused directly
in distant gaze
speaking to anyone at all
who might here

I'm tired,
help me get there....


Tired, Lord I'm tired, life is wearing me smooth down to the bone....{Toby K}

Yes, that place exists, if we in our minds, allow it...such a painting of life, and our stubborness....we act out like children sometimes when we don't get our ways....or when things do not seem to meld as we would have them...

wonderful poetry...

Hang in there, Gentle Spirit.  I have just put in an order for a wonderful moment for you tomorrow, and for it to be repeated daily with the length of it doubled by the day!  Hate that you feel this way, even if it means that you translate it into beautiful art for us to share.

But if it were not for your way of explaining,
for your kind words, and gracious smile,
we would all be the worse off.
Time and the rain smoothes the stone, this is true.
And that time and weathering reveals the gold inside,
and you share that gold with those you meet, so well.
The Lord has bless you in your weariness, with your way
of expression, and a reason for it.

"There,

I know that feeling Gentle Spirit and I hope it gets better.

Wow, this is a powerful expression. Great job.
