Breathing in deeply taking the fullness confusion leaving me to feel dangerously twisting out of the pool of emotions that are being consumed by generations completed stories written in fantasy by old wise men emroidered with soft flowing silver hair through the ages questions answered studied documented and written by them just open the books of remembrance nobody understands we say feasting on our deliberate immaculate almost surgicaly perfected lack of understanding mostly fueled by our minds tenderly carressed and molded into what we believe something should feel like somebody has been there before somebody is there right now traveling the same bumpy road as us swimming in the same cool spring fed pool of confusion... as us life is learning new steps every day each time graduating to the next chapter unknowingly progressing gracefully as lonely and challenging as it gets just close your eyes let your mind open up to the music of the hidden masses reminding you constantly that you never dance alone. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

Well, what can I say other than that I am very impressed with your style. I enjoyed reading this writing of yours, it kept my full attention throughout. Paul Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

  BRAVO!!! This is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, life is but a story that is endless and in the coming sequels progresses with a happy ending!

This poem says so much to me! There are times when I feel so alone, but then I realize that there are others going through the same things as me or things that even worse. nicely written!! |

This is all too true TKYSS very nicely written....... You wrote a mindful here..... "nobody understands we say feasting on our deliberate immaculate almost surgicaly perfected lack of understanding mostly fueled by our minds tenderly carressed and molded into what we believe something should feel like somebody has been there before somebody is there right now" Yep I really like this one!! |

you never dance alone. I think that sums it up well, Thunder... Sometimes, I think I am the only one who is as frightened as I am right now, and I think that I would trade places with anyone else because no one could possibly feel as bad as I do...and then I think of how lucky I am because there are so many who suffer so much more.... A beautiful and meaningful write.  ~ a thank you hug for sharing it with usLyra |

Breathing in deeply taking the fullness confusion leaving me to feel dangerously twisting out of the pool of emotions that are being consumed by generations completed stories written in fantasy by old wise men emroidered with soft flowing silver hair through the ages questions answered studied documented and written by them just open the books of remembrance ================================= as lonely and challenging as it gets just close your eyes let your mind open up to the music of the hidden masses reminding you constantly that you never dance alone. =================================== I love the way you opened this, and then slowly unfolded each thought...asking and answering each question with the wisdom learned a long the way. Any poets on that list of silver haired wise men? very cool write of depth and inner reflection. I do believe after reading this...you are on the right track and we can learn from your words.( must mean youre a poet, huh?) Cant stand up for fallin apart |
