where are the wise words of the wordsmith now? in the face of this dark suffering where is the pith of wisdom? suddenly the heart is raw engaged in battle with God enraged by the choice of who the sufferer should be. if one word would ease the pain a mite, then how much easing would ten thousand words gain? would epics by score give rise to cures of malady? would then the poet be the healer? these worthless words written cannot take away the pain nor the darkness and yet this is all I have to offer these words these hollow words speaking of faith and perseverance echoing quietly in the night as you lay there awake in your thoughts waiting for pearls of wisdom that cannot be written words fail me my lack of words will fail you but I feel your pain ‘tis often so lay your head here take my hand I will share what I can and help you through this night of pain and suffering and darkness I will write my poetry with the beat of my heart and give to you the poem of life [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (06-17-2004 09:17 PM).] |

suddenly the heart is raw engaged in battle with God enraged by the choice of who the sufferer Should be. these worthless words written cannot take away the pain nor the darkness and yet this is all I have to offer lay your head here take my hand I will share what I can and help you through this night of pain and suffering and darkness I will write my poetry with the beat of my heart and give to you the poem of life Dear Lord! That simply has to be enough, it truly does. I am SO angry I can not even begin to sort it out, and yet you can write out what I too feel - so thank you. I will add my thoughts to your prayer, and also in my own way pray it is enough. That truly was seeing your raw pain, Sharon, and knowing that these words came straight from the heart. |

This is without a doubt, the most personal poem I've seen from you yet. Poignant and full of your caring artistry. More later, when I have time. I WILL be back to this one--on the level of a jeremiad, m'lady. awesome outpour. |

This is, without a doubt, my favorite of everything I've read of yours (and you have some great stuff!). It's full of compassion and heartache, but also full of the joy of friendship... Amazing poem, Sharom... this'll go in my library. Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

Excellent write, I felt the questioning anger we sometimes feel towards God when we think he's not doing anything to help our loved ones in despair, pain and/or sickness...tis a human thing, to deny the divine and perhaps a test of our faith, b/c when it hits home, we cannot emotionally disconnect. Tremendous compelling write. |

Sharon, words have not failed you, even tho' to you they seem inadequate. There is so much love and empathy in your poetic heart. This prayer has reached many ears ~ and most importantly He who has Ears divine...  God bless you and your loved one. Healing hugs, Linda |
