unfinished character if i’d release myself to quivering moments would times of yore be blunt & clueless? unknown suddenly meets by chance running away screaming, to a writing table searching my dreams biting the lip of answers, a gambler’s yonder sea looking up to the stars pain of broken heart, brings things of promise retreating yesterday fetches wings of mythology the coins I own, are pretty enduring they want me to be strong I call upon courage to obtain the long awaited new sky of hope, intensely blooming gentleness of truth, visits an eternal gaze wounded words become you like swimming on a page of depth lonely times are lighted peaceful to fortunes lifting us up and down gentle waves of here and now they are brave, dear heart they are brave encouraging forward tears does the nightmare awake? enveloped is the struggle flames of war within someone stands beside us with mind hidden tomorrow holds me tightly the old wounds know me well caressing my silence we are friends now adventures where miracles happen scanning the shadows a glimpse catches me I stand perfectly still this time, sunken in depths of oceans from which I will be smoothed I would not be the same if I hadn't known you |

loved the write, but especially like the line, "tomorrow holds me tightly", sheds new light on a favorite phrase of mine--the confines of time...nicely written...nicely done... |

Hello, Lovely Lee! "I call upon courage to obtain the long awaited new sky of hope, intensely blooming" ~ Keep the faith, Dear One! There are even better times ahead!  "I would not be the same if I hadn't known you" ~ People come into our lives for a reason and a season. Some seasons are longer than others. Regardless of how long they remain in our lives, each person along the road affects us in one manner or another. May those who come your way, be for your Higher Good. Beautifully written. Lovin' hug, Linda |

You grow deeper, and you deepen anyone who reads you. I would not be what I am now, had I not known YOU. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I wonder of character... knowing that it is an every day process for one to evolve and never be done in toto  |

"sunken in depths of oceans from which I will be smoothed I would not be the same if I hadn't known you" Very nice Lee J. Such eloquence in this write, but that last verse speaks volumes from your heart. JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

"the coins I own, are pretty enduring they want me to be strong I call upon courage to obtain the long awaited new sky of hope, intensely blooming gentleness of truth, visits an eternal gaze" The whole piece just screams out at me. The lines others have noted jump out at the reader, yet I especially like your weaving of the above. Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
