Now y'all will see why I don't write anymore... Limping with cracked faith Tarnished dreams Broken wings Doubling over in silent screams Didn't know How hard one could fall Thought I could soar That anything was possible With a thud of negativity all reality lost I only know the shadow puppets the television makes On the walls In my desperate thoughts I wonder... If God can even hear me now Or if my favourite psalms can even make me see past my perfect blurred vision Or if the angel's cry For my broken wings... If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Ceinwyn:This touoched my heart and brought tears to my eyes.Let me say something to you and try to believe with an open heart.I know it's hard but try.From the darkest of my recent days to the bottom pits of hell I felt this way.Let me truly say that God does care and is listening and the angels do cry.Fo you are as precious and beautiful as anyone else.I hope that you will soon be able to recover your light.As far as the writing keep it up wether happy or sad my writing is what pulled me up from the bottom pits of hell.I will always read you and hope that you will share more.Take care and my thoughts and wishes will be with you. angelblueyes:sqeeze: |

Kris, goodness, of course they cry . . . always by your side even if you dont feel it Jesus woman . . . you right words that seem to be floating around in me own head. This is beautiful, even in its pain and trust me when I say that they are always watching over you - and even in the darkest hour . . . they do hear your silent pleas. This is astounding, and quite frankly, I do not know how my pen will ever match to your own. Sue xxoo |

Faith is a healer, without it life just isn't the same. HE always allows us time for healing, its what we do with it that is sometimes painful. |

You may not realize it, but He is standing beside you giving you strength when you are broken with pain. Lean on Him, He always hears your pleas. You have been blessed with the words you have painted for us. Sending a hug from Ohio. Bon-Bon   |

Kristen, I'm not a preacher, never been good at talking about God...but to think of the pain you're in and the sadness of you not writing makes me cry. You will find strength and you will look back and laugh. Read other poetry, be inspired and be well. You are a strong lady. We gotta stick together. |

See told you you're a great writer, good work. you tightened it up and gave it life. Look at the effect it had on the readers. STOP selling yourself short you $@&#% and keep writing |

God listens and hears always...it is just our human impatience that does not understand...I have been to the very bottom as well, and it ain't nice...but...you must believe, that there is purpose in everything...and if you start by allowing the good to embrace you...then you start a re development of a whole vital different world which will compliment you...you are very important...but God allows as we should also...in His OWN time...perhaps when we are mature and responsible enough to handle his value in us??? I dunno...but never ever let go of faith...let the bumps seal the light in your heart always....love and hugs....Lee J. You don't have to listen, just wanted you to know that I care...as did many when I wrote and were also there for me. |

I must admit, the title almost scared this "angel" off!  Seriously, though, Dear Kristen, you were shooting arrows into the hearts of your readers with this emotional and honest write from the very soul of you. After reading your own poem and the the replies that it has received, you must surely realize that you have a gift for writing. With your poetry, you touch your readers--friends who care about you! These difficult times in your life may produce some of your greatest poems because of all the emotions you are experiencing. This poem is an excellent example of that! Loving, healing hugs, Linda |
