Tribulation Born of a day, another fragmented breath In the withers of living, a smaller death Twenty-four enemies with alias known Harvested trials from careless seeds sown. How does one beat fate at its own game ignoring your voice as you call out its name? Throw on a second coat, it covers the holes from tattered defenses now rusted with gold Throw not, in anger, a gauntlet its way Cost of loss is more than you can pay So breathe it away, that deep dark light Turn your back on its threat Go quiet into night.

Jeff There are some things too big to stand against...if I hear you right. But, cannot one small arm, if multiplied by many build a fortress? as for fate...that too can be changed, but you'll never know you did. You gave me some thinking with this one...Thanks! |

Hi Mart! Evenin! This was sort of how to handle one of those runaway head-on days that doesnt seem to respond to good intentions. 24 hours of weeds in a garden, so to speak. Guess I am saying, unless the conflict calls for it, it will pass, so let it. So many of our problems just go away on their own as time solves the chaos. Thankx so much for your response. Very nicely said, Mart. Until tomorrow jeff |

Jeff sometimes things just "are" and we do have to let them pass. Wonderful writing. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

Jeff...thanks for the resply to my reply...I guess sometimes I think too much...and I do understand, let it be. The mind can build things far bigger then they ever deserve. Thanks for the lesson.  |

Yes, Jeff...as a wise man once said, we have to pick our battles carefully... and then go in to win at any cost... knowing we would give our all... to preserve our all... |

Jeff darling heart and writer of dreamers rhymes your thoughts and words in this are exquisite. Again this is exceptional writing. Never ever do you fail to amaze me with your writing. The power the grace, and the truth of such as this are outstandingly written do I love it I utterly utterly utterly do xxxxxx absolutely perfect poetry. I keep telling you my dear friend how good a poet you are, and you are you really are. The quality of your writing shines through time after time after time. Naturally when I see your name I KNOW that it is going to be something extremely special, and even though I expect it to be good, time and again you exceed my expectations. Always the truth of the poets thought is there, and always the quality, but it’s not just those that make you an extremely good writer. I don’t know why you shine as a poetic seer, I only know that when your write you commune with my soul. YOU do know I love this one don’t you darling boy? Mmmmm of course you do, my gently subtle nuance of affection obviously came through. One day I’ll do understated you’ll see, maybe when pigs fly but one day….   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

I love your philosophy here, Jeff... Maybe I should just forget about my problems and they will just go away... I think I'll try that one.  ~ superchipmunkster hugsLyra |
