I no longer wish to write Trying to share the things Which inside of me Have left the scars Or the lessons learned I no longer wish to paint The images in words Hoping others too Can feel as well as see What my eyes have gleaned From passing scene or soul I no shorter will For it holds no meaning No fire No light I will instead Listen for a while And watch again The passing of cloud or rain From horizon to apogee And down to night Perhaps these things Will waken in me The things I miss The most The words To move people |

Oh how wrong you are...your words do move people...they certainly move me! But there is never any harm in sitting back and listening for awhile Beautiful write Ron. ~Krista "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

who knows the scars depth or how many times the wound still bleeds showing life |

Oh dear, Ron, I hope this is a poem only, and not a true feeling, or plan to go away. I truly appreciate your writing. Sandra |

Thanks all... but I fear for now, I have issues within myself about what I write and share that need to be resolved before I can post again.... I do not plan to leave as I enjoy all too much the words you share...so I'll be around to comment and to listen... No need to worry... heck...I am just sorting through things and my own disatisfaction with me... |

Know, Ron, that I wasn't kidding when I said that if you published a book of your poetry, I'd buy it. That means that your words, indeed, have moved me and made me think, many-a-time. I hear you, if you're saying that you need to pull-back a bit and take a break, considering how prolific you've been on this site, but I hope this is just a break -- I always look forward to see what new visions you've put into focus... Regarding this poem, though, I didn't quite get the "shorter" part of it... any clues? -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

gracious, Ron, I always hate it when you're taking a time out, but sorting takes time sometimes and so, if you'll hang around and write as soon as , as soo as...don't know what to say, because can't be as soon as I'd want to read you again at least I know of you that you do come back to writing...me if I stopped writing, I'd probably stop...I haven't painted since 1985 and I was water-coloring voraciously...and since I aspire to be a published writer...of course I am in tiny ways, but I mean in book/s of poetry and children's books, I don't want to stop writing...it must be nice to trust yourself and your ability to sort.

I understand your need to step back from writing for awhile...but I want to tell you that if I could write like anyone I read here on a regular basis, it would be you. |

Sometimes the ink as blood doth flow and in it's leaving lays us low, We pour our lives out through the pen the task is then to bleed again. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

Perhaps these things Will waken in me The things I miss The most The words To move people ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never under estimate your ability to move others. Passions pages would really turn if you stop writing my friend. Reach deep into your soul, and you will see what can be found. Please DO write! Deb |
