A Winter Tear |

Started off the new year with a tear, Which, I’m hoping will be dried, Come December 31. It is one different from those of the past-- It is one of maturity, Of letting go with peace. Nothing could take away the sting of this blow, But the passing of the year has brought me Somewhat of a quiet comfort. The snow still waits for me outside; I’m still going to have to muster the strength To plow my way through. However, those breezes blow in the right direction; As I make my path Through the wintry wilderness, The wind moves some of the mass Out of my way. I’ll never forget what happened to my heart When you looked at me, Nor will I try to put behind me The gentle alleviation of your touch. Instead, I will carry that same serenity with me To warm my heart In cold hours such as these. -kh 01/01/01 Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |

Strength does come in the quiet comfort of knowing that you can and WILL rise to new levels and shine on your new path. Wonderful pouring of the heart my friend. Hope all is turning out better since you wrote this one. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |

Mark: yeah, I guess that's what new years are for, aren't they? And, yes, things are looking better since penning this. I thank you, my dear friend, for your thoughtful replies. They are much appreciated, but I hope you already know that!  Elizabeth: no, it isn't, but without the outlet of poetry, I can't say I'd know what I'd do! thank you for reading!  Paula: well, thank you for your heartfelt reply and the kind offer to talk! I truly appreciate it. I'm glad you could stop by! sp Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |

kris~ my dear friend... i've read a lot of your poems...and all of them have affected me in one way or another, made me smile, or think, or tugged at my heart...but this one. i seem to be at a loss of words and probably won't give it the justice it so rightfully deserves. but something about the sincerity, the simpleness, and the sadness of this hit me straight in the heart. knowing you as i do i know you do have the strengthand the heart to move on. i also know that you write what you feel deep inside you that is normally locked up. perhaps i should have saved something this personal to share with you out of the forum...but i am sure everyone at this forum, knows how wonderful and special you are. you forever hold a dear place in my heart, and if ever you need to talk...you know where i'll be. my door is always open for you. loves ya much, amy ~~~~~~~~~ 24/7 ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |

Oh, Aim...what can I say, except that I am extremely fortunate to have a friend like you who knows me so well and can read all of that from a few lines of poetry. I thank you dearly, my friend, for your continued support of my writing, as that means the world to me, but you know all of that good stuff. TTYL!! -e 24/7/365(366)~~~~~~ Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |
