It was the nighttime of my soul, scattered among the memories of broken dreams and promises, where no one ever sees, the painful longing in my eyes as I stand alone and search the ever changing skies.. looking for the one who can, gather together this drifting man. And if I find it not, I will pull from within my soul, the pieces of the puzzle that again will make me whole. And though my life is darkened still, it is only twilight.. my eyes adjust to the loss of you, as my soul begins it’s fight, to step into the future where, the world I again can face… But beside me there will always be, a small and lonely space. |

This is beautifully done, as usual, PdV... My experience is that a search such as this one invariably leads directly back to ourselves... and the answers come from within.... Nice work, my friend....  |

Poet deVine - This is just lovely. What a nice poem to find greeting me this morning. Seeking, searching ... great introspection. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh PDV...this speaks so loudly to my heart. I could have written the same words, although probably not as eloquently as yourself. Wonderful work my friend |

Another great one PDV (do you need a hug now) Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

How eloquently you voice our thoughts... HUSG PDV, BIG ones Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

Beautiful as always, I think we all need to throw a cheering up party- too many sad faces(myself included) in the upcoming year! |

Some poems just seem to flow off the tongue as if a ripple of wind across a field of ripened wheat under a harvest moon. Such as this. |

Aww! Devine this is sadly wonderful! May that little empty space be filled soon! Absolutely terrific! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

I must agree, may that little empty space be filled soon! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Very fine poetry indeed PdV - I enjoyed its enormous lyrical power. Few poets would be strangers to its message I think. Well done! |

This is beautiful, Ms. deVine. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
