searching for a sight of myself without sadness where the madness isn’t inches from taking me by tears raking me over and over my failures and fears grasping at straws and silver linings I cling to the clouds falling down on double edged swords broken and bleeding looking for my goddess like a lost set of keys [This message has been edited by Lori Grosser Rhoden (10-21-2009 11:46 AM).] |

I feel as though you've written me... or at least... the me of the moment. *S* Straight to the heart... and into my library. |

Heavy piece, Lori. The phrase "looking for my goddess like a lost set of keys" is brilliant. I do so hope that this poem is an emotional exploration, and not based upon yourself. The Lori I see in your poetry is in complete and constant communication with her goddess within. Nicely done. Jim Sutra 5: Public self-criticism does not brighten one’s Spark of Brahman: it merely feeds one’s narcissism. |

Jim-My goddess has issues, some days are dark and she isn't as clear for me to see. The contrast adds depth, (I think ) |

Alison It is good to know when my work touches people and yet I feel I push on bruises and buttons that conjure pain, doing little to console.~L |

There was a line in the film "Shadowlands" about the life of C.S. Lewis and I quote..."I read to know that I am not alone." Your poems elicit such visceral responses. That is talent my friend. Shenachie |
