You have troubles and I get mine, but I can’t help you cause no one can’t, troubles are our souls and souls are rivers unique lives until the sea of nowhere, you have troubles and I get mine, I think of that now, thinking nothing can change the course except resolution, soul begins at birth and ends dramatically, I just think that now, I just think of the sky, of the purple lilacs of the conquering spring, of the salted wind and the flavored clouds, may be they can help you too…. |

I wrote this for a friend, I wish it could help him even if the poem seems to pretend contrary. |

You have made a beautiful attempt to be close and to help your friend, dear Yann. In love filled closeness there lies the greatest help. I love the conclusion because in Nature we find the presence of our divine resource and this will no doubt contribute to make your friend feel better. Of course in my opinion what ends "dramatically" is matter/body, I believe that the soul is whole in every moment and eternal. Love, Margherita |

If this is a cry for help for a friend, then it is a pretty good one, in my humble opinion. Best wishes. Sometimes it doesn't work very well, but you've got to try. That I understand. Now, hmmm... By "soul", I, too, assume you mean our form of consciousness in this universe, rather than eternally. I really don't believe that Almighty God creates us just to throw us away... (and obviously I am not what you'd call an atheist, either.) Nevertheless, I have read from NDE interviews that the transition, at least, can be dramatic. As for the writing here, understandable, direct, primitive not in a bad way, and effective. A worthwhile read. |

"troubles are our souls" I feel like that's the best way to put it Good write. |

people bounce back, sooner or later, in one way or another and troubles make us stronger your friend will be fine and so will you |

Hello margherita, thanks for your beautiful comment, what I was trying to say is that life ends dramatically , the soul here was not meaning the soul but all what we are feeling in our terrestrial life, your comment makes deep sense and makes me humble and please be indulgent with me . regards yann |
