drip... drip... one little bit at a time autoimmunity drips this pain and that pain and days and days are in a fog, lost in another drip. and I found that car accidents don’t just drip, they thunder a torrential downpour while a tornado wreaks havoc in my memory. the reason for my joy I can no longer find. …day by day the essence of me sloshes audibly lower and lower. my thirst is waning, but still I cup my hands trying to find my way back to the used to be me drip... drip... |

I know I'm a bit biased, but I'd say being around you anytime is a blessing. *S* I hate the pain that prompted this poem, but love the images... we so often think of the straw that broke the camel's back... but your cup overfloweth. *S* Very well done, dear friend... My applause and prayers are both yours. *S* |

jellybeans.....A wonderful poem.....but the comments confirm the sadness. You use the word "joy". May I risk a definition? The dictionary of my experience was never complete until I arrived at the following: Joy: The knowledge that it is not enough to know that God loves us. We must also be convinced that He is ....... near. Take care....or "TAKING CARE". Smiles. Bob |

Jellybean, If I must drool I'll take jellybean every time. Your poem was not depression but pure expression. *L* Sy |
