Each breath I breath, each beat I feel, each thought that congeals, each pondering thought for I am human. Mortal skin and flesh, sinew and bone, tears and smiles,Trial and tribulations that quake.. I am scared. Lost in a wilderness of dark shadows, of howling winds and glowing eyes. Huddled against the blizzard of life that awaits me, I am cold...I shiver. Alone on this rock strewn path of fear and anxiety.Grasping each crack upon the face of stark reality, tired, weary hands clinging to the face of freedom’s cliff as the rubble of condemnation falls upon the stooped shoulders of mortality...I am here, here above the soft cushion of floating clouds of peace, awaiting the storm to whip against the being of who I am... For I am naked to the world’s will, awaiting the darkness of destiny’s doom as a grey cloud approaches where I am....alone.... |

We are all truly alone here on this spinning rock and you have built a long and eternally strong friendship chain...which I hope you know will remain dependable should the storm shake your feet from the ledge. Powerful write, from a most amazing human. All prayers, TD |

Alone? No... sometimes it only feels that way. It's good to see you here... it's a hope, a prayer... a breath. |

Your writing not only reminds me of Sir Poe, but I think you ARE Poe--Edgar, you're back! So long, I have waited! ![]() Loving hugs, EA |

Alone...I have felt alone from time to time, Barry...and I have been scared to be alone. But I assure you, you are not. Your words connect you with others...and your words have dissolved my feelings of loneliness on many occasions...particularly on those late Saturday nights. I am sure you have also connected with the poets' words here. It is in the knowing that we are all a part of the human experience...that makes me feel that I am never really alone. OK, does that make sense? I loved the writing, Bud! I have to tell you again...I really missed you! Pat |

Barry, dear man...this fear, this hurt, it is your strength. It lets you see where you are, and that knowledge is a blessing. I wish you peace on the other side of your climb. ![]() |
