Caught In The Current ~*Marge Tindal*~ Sometimes it is a babbling brook sometimes a stream that my tears took sometimes a waterfall cascading I navigate this river - sometimes raging Upon it's currents I am tossed reaching an ocean of emotion where I am lost upon the waves of deep despair tossed on the shore left lying there Slammed again at tide's return thinking that someday I will learn The river of tears will always flow where my memories want me to go I hope I discover how to break free before this river of tears drowns me Until then .... I'm treading memories *This piece was inspired by a post by Daniel JD entitled 'River Of Tears' Thank you, JD~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, Just beautiful, very sad, but a great write. "The river of tears will always flow where my memories want me to go" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Marge, Marge, I love this, you just inspired me, and I'm already working on my 3000 posts. I don't have time for Christmas shopping I love your poems, can never get enough. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

This then is woman...sharing, caring, loving, and a most rare individual indeed... well done Marge! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

this is beautful, love the last line "treading tears" Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

Many of your poems have struck me with their beauty - others their hope, their format = or imagination. This one struck so very close - it deserves my praise as it spoke directly to some current thoughts I'm struggling to convey - Thank you |

Ahh my sweet friend, you do know how to capture the essence of emotions so well. I loved the whole FLOW of this one as it has your signature on it and I MUST find Daniel's poem to see the wonderful work that inspired this piece. I am sure this one itself will be the inspiration for many many smiles as those who find themselves in the raging current will now have something not only to relate to but also to find comfort in. Hugs to you my friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Marge, I too, am leary of getting caught in the currents, but you'd have to expect that, me being an electrician, LOL. Good poem! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate When the veiling cloud has passed Playful shadows dance Dennis L. White :^) |
