I frighten me because, you see, my outbursts are done earnestly. My flames are lit with honesty-- each spark is birthed sincerity, and every hateful shameful thing I can't deny as part of me. I frighten me because I change-- the only thing that stays the same is this my fear of my demons-- I listen to each song I've sung wishing bells could be un-rung. "It's pitchy." I say, distancing, myself from every note I sing. "Add echo, and? Pull up the strings..." I hate my voice. I frighten me. |

Whadda you know, I found one of your poems that I can understand and comment on. I like that. I hear you about the demons, Karen. I don't have mine anymore. Always thought I would live with them until I croaked, but I found a way out.I shan't tell you how I did it, because everyone has to find their own way. I will say this, however, the air in my thought process is much clearer these days now that my demons are vanquished. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

serenity, Ah, dear gal, sometimes I think you frighten us all with your talent. The fact that you choose to voice what others may choose to leave unsaid I find quite refreshing. I will not pretend that I always get the reasoning behind some of your writes, but suffice it to say I certainly enjoy the unique perspective you choose to share with us. Be well m'friend. Doc |

""It's pitchy." I say, distancing, myself from every note I sing. "Add echo, and? Pull up the strings..." I hate my voice. I frighten me." I often wish I could sing, pitchy or not. I play at the guitar, do a little whistling, sing in a whispering voice, but I never would add echo or pull up the strings; And demons are punks, forget-about-it… Knowhatimean? I bet you are more happy than this poem seems to indicate. Happy sings! Listen to the birds, talk about pitchy... Enjoyed your write. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I listen to each song I've sung wishing bells could be un-rung. We all have notes that are discordant with our now - even though they may have sounded fine when they were sung. But they're all part of our life's cantata... and earnest outbursts are often the impetus for the finest passages. *S* ((((HUGS)))) to you... *S* |

Ah, there's the singing voice of Serenity I have so missed. Wonderful flow and theme. You frighten me too, ya know? You wield a wicked aura I would never want to find myself having crossed at times... and I mean that as a compliment. Michael |

When I read the loving generosity that you all send to me via replies, I'm genuinely stunned and at a loss for the words to express my gratitude. What you all do is give me a soft place to land. "Love Lessons" That's how I think of you all.  Thank you. |
