1. for those that tend to tremble

ok so that being me of late for I tend
to tremble, ergo the writing of this poem is
for me
and the immediate spilling of tears as I type
is only more confirmation
that I need to write
and write
and
write
until the reason for the tremble
is laid bare
until the reason has no more
hold over my hand

Lord help me
I do not to ask You to stop
this tremble
Lord instead I ask for help
to find the reason.

You absolutely have the right attitude about this . . . tremble . . . Write it to death. I got rid of mine, took a while, but I killed it off with . . . words.

Dear Luminosity,

Your writing intrigues me. Please keep writing. I want to understand who you are. I want to understand your situation. I believe we can help each other to understand where we are and who we are...RV

PS...your 2 poems are like magnets of compassion...I sense very strong feeling within you as a poet and as a person.

Airing one's pain, if only to one's self versus soaking in it, is cleansing and healing, my friend. Airing it to others, can be life-giving. And writing it, for the world to see can be absolutely cathartic.

Wonderful write, this, and all I've read of yours . . . life goes on, with or without us,
and we can only participate in it when we allow ourselves to join ... as you've done in this series.

walk easy . . .

I relate to this one very well. When I feel agitated but do not know why, I know it's time to pick up the pen. Writing, without having a clue of what your even wanting to say, has a way of bringing it all to the surface. Keep your pen in hand, your answers are on the way.

You go ahead a write for yourself. It’s beautiful, it has true meaning, and it’s your rendering of your living in your shoes. You know complaining does no good at all, and you know you are unique. Your focus is up and that is right where it should be.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
