Confession Frozen ice cube chilled expressions appear upon hearing a sadly startling confession. Being from a dense forest of trees town he arose to approach us with a deep seated frown. Broken English spoken from his foreign tongue yet the invaded victim he had become. Clear pain filled tears dripped down his years of stubble grown face as he spoke extremely sad details of how he came to sit before us in this place. She suffered painfully for ten sad years, she could never awaken to greet the morning without creating overwhelming fears. I tried in vain to make her smile each, and every pain bearing day her mind was just thousands of galaxy miles away. Her dreams were nightmares in disguise, all her demanding desires the past five years revolved around being united with the heavenly skies. Now I plead my case to all of you before you make your judgment true look into my eyes and know... Wherever my everlasting days are spent I will always cherish her facial glow the minute she realized I let her go. |

I'm really not sure what to say...there's mixed emotions coming from this, and that confuses me...but one thing's for sure, this is a great poem, as are all of yours!  Little Spyro T. Dragon |

Lost - I'm not sure that I came away with what you intended. If it is what I think, I pray that someday someone loves me enough to confess, "I let her go", if the situation should arise. This really touched me. |

I Thank you all for reading this, and now I will explain, this was just a tale I made up to begin with and this man is confessing before a jury that he did take his wife's life after so many years of her suffering. So now it is left up to the jury to decide his fate. Should he be punished for a crime of passion so to say, or has he already paid the price all those years caring for her and doing everything to make her happy? |

Well Gloria, never having walked in those particular shoes, I would hate to pass judgement. I wouldn't want to be on that jury. I don't believe in euthenasia, though. I thought that this is what the poem was about. (I'm getting better at this interpretation stuff!) |

I'm glad this got bumped. It's a nice write, talking about an important question, and timely from my point of view, since we Mainers just struggled with (and defeated) a question about physician-assisted suicide. As our capacity to prolong life becomes greater, the question becomes more difficult. Thanks for sharing this point of view.
