Look deep inside me Carefully glance as part of me flees Touch where life runs away Sensing stray energy dribbles Lost flesh just thought it was a nibble But looking deep I see a mess Lost oh so much but none was flesh Instead was life and spirit bent On hearing yes but then was sent to find some sun T’was under the tree We ran so fast but stayed so still Clinging to sounds that all ran uphill Emptying selves but still overfull Oh so much lies in the depths Mind and heart thinking of sharing this view Wishing for someone who was willing to see To hear to share willing to find the time To experience the bold and even sublime This is a wish from the depths of a soul But still wondering if I can let go |

thanks Martie - it does make for good poetry - often it is hard to find and to understand and then sometimes it is soooo personal - appreciate your comments always - Paul |

It really does help to write it out Paul... This one expecially comes from somewhere deep inside. ~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

"We ran so fast but stayed so still" I loved this line, I think it bought it all together. People often feel this way in life, I know I certainly have. Another wonderful read Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed it, can't wait to see more!! ^*Kimberley*^ "Theres no posession, just obsession and growing depression" |
