Listening to every heart

I am You

There are several times
of awakening
in a life still
quakening

In gentle
or harsh
rediscovering
of life gone
by, this
recovering

Some things we bless
by the moment
others we bless
by their torment
that it is gone
but it comes back
again
sometimes we know
that sometimes,
we bend

It is this, this moment
here, and now
that I must take a
breath, and how
much it hurts, this
pain, so deep
but first I must,
before I sleep

Know

Know that in this here
and now,

That people come, and
some,

Somehow,

Feel

And in their feel,
translate,

A moment’s qualm

In warmth, equate

The feel,

The hurt

The deep

Transpires

And before the fall
in this deep quagmire

They will come to
know of them,

Their

Self

And dust their
memories
off that shelf

And bring themselves
to the forefront
and clear!

As their stoic
memories
share!

For their way
is
all
in
here

Where I
am you,
and understand

(sigh) Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, yes, I too believe that in sharing memories we can step into another persons shoes when we envision them and then we feel we can relate to someone so much better with compassion to them! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is excellent! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sunshine!

Oh, the loneliness of pain and the pain of loneliness. This poem says it all and only understanding will heal either. May the understanding be there for you always.

Karilea, I have found the perfect way to begin and end my day.....
How is that you ask?
Why, by reading one of your poems I answer, smiling.
Therefore this day began and now ends on yet another perfect note...
...and for that I thank you!
~Hugs nite, Nancy~

Karilea - I read this several times. I took it as pain felt from a loss of a loved one shapes us, and makes us who we are, and is always a part of us.
