Alas, I have this albatross it hangs around my neck, I bear it with a tolerance wading through this shipwreck. Sometimes it doesn’t feel so much I can’t abide and then I find I cannot move I have no energy inside. I know that I could be much more without this heavy weight but I have no strength to elude this burden full of hate. Some day perhaps this albatross will loose itself from me and I may know the feeling of truly being free. When finally that day arrives and I look upon the shore and see the beauty of that island that I have seen before I will breath the scented air and bask in the morning sun for when that weight is lifted I’ll have the ability to run. Until that day, I bear it from each morning to each night and live in dreams of the day the albatross takes flight. Poetry is an expression of feelings. I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves. |

What a wonderful piece of writing but also so very sad were your words. I hope the albatross takes flight and allows you to see all of nature's beauty. I wish you happiness and serenity and I'll look forward to reading more of your lovely words. Take care......Sue Suetang |
