Somewhere... out there...

giving up the
will to care...

giving in to
no one there...

spirit spilled from
shattered glass of
circumstance that
dictates
chance is
dying in the
aftermath
of
time

love of power the world will know peace.

Hi lil buddy~

You write the emotions like no one else can~
Poignancy that reaches in and squeezes the heart~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

ticking . . .

finger tip to rim

chinggggg

silent echo of
crystal crush
of heart

once held
in finger
grip

now strewn

lying

embittered

(big hugggsssssss) It hurts me deeply to see ones own pain or ordeal crush one to the point that all faith is lost in ones heart, dearest friend, I have been through so much and I understand grappling with faith and am only so blessed I haven't been a victim of eternal despair! (sad sigh) I send prayers out to all these such people, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Dear Ms. Vicky, I know that you are one who would not "surrender" even though you may feel like it at times. You are just too full of spirit and the Unsinkable Molly Brown attitude to ever give up the fight! You my dear, are a surviver! ~ and you are VERY SPECIAL!!!!!

Loving hugs,
Linda

There's no middle...a very short poem either fails completely or it hits so hard...like this one does!

your poet is surely taking advantage of your emotional state in this one....she write very awesome-like...  

I've felt like this...can feel each word...

enjoying reading you...
