In a moment of sadness A decision is made That affects future life and my hope To write out the madness With spirit half slayed In a world that can't teach us to cope Forget all the sorrow It's not likely I can So my world became narrow and bound No hope for tomorrow Heart hollow and wan With my life tied up tight to death's hound Past filled with regret And sorrow in reign For the changes that I could not make No power of forget So I lived with the pain And learned not to trust or to take In a moment of sadness My whole life was changed For I stumbled on pages so blue So I wrote out my madness And my spirit deranged Became soft and calm 'cause of you You showed me compassion And held me through fears Set the dark of my night blazing bright My start at Passions Was moulded by tears Yet I walked hand in hand to the light Though days can drag out As the memories sear In my heart I just know I've moved on And I write in glad shout That I'm proud I found here And you asked me to join Passion's song Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Where IS this challenge? I haven't found it yet, but it is simple enough, and you are making me want to say why I came, and why I stay...this let's us in to YOU, Kethry, and getting to know you better is like holding up a mirror... Well done, dear... |

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of the stars incandescent shine, this reflection of your soul is one of the best, the very best I’ve ever read by you. You have in this wonderful flow of words written your heart, shown me a glimpse of the soul that lay within. In this utterly perfect poem you’ve excelled yourself yet again. This is indeed something special since it shows the view of you that was and what now is, it reveals your soul dressed in beauty’s gown and free from the pain that brought you here. The lines of this delight are superb, truly awesome. Yet again you’ve written something that will stand through all time and sing the words of your souls triumph. This is truly exquisite writing and I love it love it love it utterly. As always darling heart YOU are perfection personified and I love it   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Hi Keth, this is a sweet poem. I love happy endings, don't you? And in spite of all the misery in life, we have a little piece of happiness here. And I know you treasure it as I do. Hugs Sandra |

Pain may have brought you here, but I have watched you take away many others pain in your wonderful writes and tributes. You always seem to be at the head of the line when it comes to cheering others up and you have gained much respect from that. Your poetry has grown in it's depth and polish as well and it is always a plearsure to read you. Well done on the challenge. The insight was open and held no bounds. |
