THE MIDDLE OF NOTHING In the middle of carrying in a pile of junk mail or sorting all my clean socks. In the middle of eating a drippy egg sandwich or sipping on a glass of Merlot. In the middle of filling a tub with bubbles or stopping in rush hour traffic. In the middle of nothing in particular They come uninvited. Out of nowhere the tears begin with a choke and flow down my sad cheeks. From far away they’ve traveled many years and I’m as tired as they are. From deep inside I recognize the need to let the sorrow breathe. |

Welcome to passions. I look forward to reading more of your work. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

I'm feeling overwhelmed by the responses I've received within minutes of posting this poem. I've posted some of my poems and have responded to other people's poetry on other poetry web sites. But, it has always seemed like you needed to be a part of some 'group' to have anyone actually take a minute to say something about your work. Thank you for making me feel so welcome. It almost feels like home. DiObear |

DiObear~ This is just heartbreakingly beautiful. Now dry those tears and write us another one just as lovely. Welcome to Passion's family of friends. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Corazon --- thanks for your words. jkm --- You're right. You do need to let the tears flow. It took me years to learn that and when I did, it seemed like they came out of nowhere. That's where the poem came from. Now I just let the tears drop as soon as they need to. |

This poem shakes me by the roots, leaving me a bare root tree high and dry in the back of the lot. You speak the truth, and I know all about those tears. Excellently written. |

Excellent first post DiObear, Welcome to passions, regards, sudhir. Take each day as it comes, Consider each day as a flight, Try hard to succeed and fly, Surely then you will reach some height. But if by some chance you don’t, Remember that tomorrow will always come. Learn this well and learn this hard That today’s efforts will pay for tomorrow’s fun. A Crazy Monster, a.k.a Ski |

Tear of healing, come and go, and I know the flow: they say the pain will go. You wrote a touching poem. |
