Father
I know you know this, you know all;
it is me that is lacking… but Lord
I do not know how to do this
I do not know how to pray
against such mounting odds
I cannot do this
I have not the strength
or the understanding
Lord please
help me.

the jailor he marches
to a heavy metal drum
just when I might predict
the rhythm and escape
the pounding of the nightmare

the jailor he changes

he patrols incessantly
keeping the insanity
in check and in place

injustice and anger wail at the
torment of the Holy Spirit but
the demons are safely trapped
I cannot let them out
I no longer know how to live
without them

the jailor he has the key
I gave it to him

am taking a break from writing, writing fury only breeds more fury, I will be back when I can write the series 'Prayers for the glad to be alive'
thank you all for your love and kindness

"At the torment of the Holy Spirit?"
Hugs, love and prayers, Pat

You may also e-mail me, am always available to listen...I have an ulterior motive though....I love your poetry, and will be glad when you begin writing regularly again

I don't take this lightly, however.

I am always available. Feel free to contact me. FYI: The only poems of yours I could have personally written were the prayer ones...that is why I liked them so much...that is how I pray...

Hugs, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

JB, I ditto what everyone else has said. You
know how to click on our e-mails. So, we
are always just a click away. Sometimes, it
helps to have a listening ear.
God bless, sweet Lady and
Heart Hugs,

jellybeans (there I go smiling at your name again!), go to that jailor right now and demand your ding dang key back!---I'll wait right here while you go get it!..................................................................I'm still waiting!............................................................Alright, I guess you'll have to get your freedom back when you want it! You know something, sweetheart?!? When you are struggling and in pain, that is when you need your friends most of all! And it is also a good time for a writer to write! It doesn't have to be Pulitzer prize material! Just write, and write and write--it is so cathartic! And who knows! There just may end up being some Pulitzer prize pearls among the reams of writing---and then you could become rich from all of your misery! Now, wouldn't that be something!

I suppose I am rambling on and on, but what the hay, that's what who I am!--A ramblin' rose! No, actually I'm a luscious, lilac bush! Then again, oh, never mind--you might think I'm just a silly billy...Oh, too late you say!

I hope I could put even a little smile on your sweet face! You are very special to all of us--and I'm sure that is very apparent by all of the loving replies that you have received.

Sending you a rainbow of healing Lights and lots of jellybeans for you to keep your strength up!

Linda
