Drips with Words The ooze from my wound drips with words to the floor of my soul I stoop to gather some up shuffle them catch more as they fall assemble what I can a phrase, a line, try to explain . . . (it might be heard, it might!) I wonder at the stain the stain on my hands this bloody stain I can not remove the stain of my life such as it is damaged with scars unfinished oozing "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it." Wendell Berry |

*sigh* I could feel this poem to my soul. I think all writers have scars and that helps us to be more sensitive. My heart goes out to you. I hope you are able to write away some of the pain. **hugs**   Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

(sigh) Oh E.J, I know just how you feel, I believe we all have these scars early in our lives, and first we feel so many tears and sorrow, but then we grow and become the loving people we are born to be having understood sorrow and feeling compassion for others who have these scars like we do! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so very much, dear friend, may all your tears become those of hope and joy and clear the scars of your loving heart! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Krawdad, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

We'll always have scars from what has happened in our lives in the past, but they are there to hopefully learn something one way or another. These wounds will heal, but will heal to make you stronger. Effective writing you have used, I liked the entire poem! Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

Krawdad--Your writing cuts to the heart. The scars are proof of living..and seeing them is proof of wisdom. |

Startime,Noah,h,Sey,Sandra,Randy,Saunni,Kay,Titia,Nancy,LadyinWhite,k,arthur,Martie. Thank you all for reading and replying. I intended a small piece on the widely expressed idea that if you came from a well adjusted, well nourished, and comfortable background, you probably wouldn't be a writer. I jotted this in the third person, then changed to the first person to see if I believed it. Looking back on it, there is something missing . . . maybe you will see a rewrite. (Gotta keep that pen movin') Thanks again. e |
