When breathing in the breath of pain it’s like the mind turns upside down to catch the bit that’s left behind the rise of hot air agony. Upside down means not alright to view the future glow of light that hovers close, so very close, to absorb that agony and dissipate the impact on those who will eventually merge into the light. It’s happening beyond my view; this I know for I’ve been told and yet an upside down mind is such to view the process morbidly and sink into the gloom. Gloom is sticky marshy “stuff” that drags a body down, down, down, but for a time a saviour’s town where inhabitants can meet, cry, frown, and map out an escape route. There are walls and doors, formalities, and difficulty beyond compare but in the cracks a tunnel hides for belief, trust, love, to open wide the access point to freedom. Freedom, yes, 'tis freedom’s mind that decides an end to agony be it here to suffer more or simply go into love’s hold! Helen / 16 May 2009 |

Helen, This is an amazing poem. I will be back to read it again. I love the content and I love how the words flow. You share with your poetry and tap into emotions and memories that many of us share. This, dear lady, is quite the poem. I'll be back tomorrow to read again. A |

Thank you, Alison. Tapping into the "human condition" is sometimes not such a pleasant thing but to "know is to overcome" - who said that?  Helen |
