who do i turn to? who do i turn to in times of empty solace? the light of my possessions is barely warm. i need a furnace. i need a glow to feed me, not tokens and lint. what do i turn to? what do i turn to when i need the most help? i'm letting go of my health -- in effect dropping out. i dropped so many lives i can't see the feeling of kneeling in the moss and wetness, night sealing my bones. anymore. i want to feel well. but i'm lost and i don't want the light's glare reminding me why i shouldn't stare too hard. too many details swarming at me, all big lines, old colors, lost feelings given to ancient lust. i'm sick of this. why can't i break free of this? what did i miss that won't let me resist making a fist in place of mist -- yes, gentle subtle mist covering slow growing leaves and needles, caressing the bark and giving color to the dark. |

I wanna hug ya for this one bsq. ------- "i dropped so many lives i can't see the feeling " -------- why can't i break free of this? what did i miss that won't let me resist making a fist in place of mist -- ------- i relate to these feelings way more than I'd like to...*sigh* always grateful for the poetry to purge some of it...you too? yes, i know.  butterfly slippers has a pair of strong shoulders...or is that wings...*smile* take care of you, please later-squirrel-gator jm/bs |

I understand this poem... Look within yourself and upward, you're sure to find someone... Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

S'en, Now you know why I didn't name my poem "turn" or "turn, turn, turn" or "one of my turns." "Too many bad memories." -Moe Mike |
