Trying to Say I do better when I don't speak; my words tend to get wrapped around my being The taste of my foot a bitter reminder that I'm not the speaking kind. and there is no rewind in verbal word-age... But I want you to know, I feel every word you say and some you don't-- even if my mouth cannot correctly chew them to spit out again verbatim... I hope I never take the unspoken and turn it unrecognizably to face you as a stranger... I want to know what's on your mind All of everything that's on your mind, how ever warped or unpleasant it may be But forgive me if I feel it as if it were my own I do that; If you'd give it to me, I'd call it mine But as long as it is yours--and it is-- I hope you'll share it with me. I hope you'll let me do what I do; Listen... I will listen as often as you will let me. I may not call, but know you're on my mind. I may not look you up, but know I want to be where you are. I know... you're not ok. It's a spare question stupid to ask. Forgive me...? Just checking in on you. Just letting you know however awkward it is for me to use verbal words... that I love you. I just wanted to say, I'm still here whenever you need me to be wherever you'd like to find me... My prayer for you is for guidance My hope is that you'll walk within the pith of your own being where all God-given answers are scattered Though it may take a while to find your way, you will find it; You are strong You, my friend, are courageous Even as you stumble... I hope your phone receiver has relayed such message to you as this; This is what I was trying to say... (for alan) -dgvarner 113007 "...Never regret anything that made you smile..."

I do so enjoy your writing. It just speaks to me. When I see your face as I open your poems, I smile and think - yes, I will identify with the words. And, I do. Thank you. A |

I know... I'm late... but I'm here now... i understand this feeling... "I do better when I don't speak; my words tend to get wrapped around my being The taste of my foot a bitter reminder that I'm not the speaking kind. and there is no rewind in verbal word-age..." but though your head may sometimes struggle with the words?... your heart always speaks loud and clear... and this?... "Just letting you know however awkward it is for me to use verbal words... that I love you. I just wanted to say, I'm still here" he knows... love you... "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." --Jimi Hendrix |
