I can not curse this pain That lays heavy hand on me Stifling each breath of thought. Is it not darkness that Lets us know light? Does not bitter Winter’s breath Let us relish the sweetness of spring? I am reminded by this sharp sting That my heart still feels, That my soul is not yet A rotting corpse, to be thrown, With other rubbish, Into the fire. I may not rejoice in this barb, But in knowing I am alive I can endure. |

the barb stings alive my pain I breathe yet again Well done Captain. Knowing both light and dark gives us that much more reason to appreciate - both. |

A good write with plenty of feeling and thought, to be alive is to feel its joy and to its pain. Well done Captain Rick |

very wonderfully said, Cpat pain can definitely be a friend, for then one knows s/he is not numb, s/he can feel but still, pleasure is more pleasurable  |

Cpat-- In the dark a candle glows, Out of pain grows the soul Lots of honest feeling in your poetry, sir. I like that. |

Seems like with each new poem of yours, I'm sensing ever more depth and expression. Thought-provoking stuff, here, as usual. Brings to mind what I've asked before: how can we know where we're at if we have no reference point to where we've been? -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
