The deepest pain cries softest in the night And keeps its secret longer from the world Just as a wounded sparrow void of flight Stays trembling ‘neath a bush with wing unfurled The bitterest tear is slow to wake from sleep And make its way through misty shrouds of fright From wounds of sorrow, sensitive and deep The cruelest pain cries softest in the night |

So very well said that it makes me want to cry for all (including myself) who can understand the feeling behind your words. Helen |

And so it is I wait, listening to the rain, my heart reaching heavenward, thinking of a tiny one holding on here by a thread and her mother watching, waiting, hoping, praying, heart breaking for her child. There are no words... but you know. Klassy |

From one gone so long, it is good to read your words again. A fine, if lonely, piece. May peace be granted to you and yours. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

You still have a way with words and that alone would bring me back. A poet must leave traces of his passing not proof. |
