It comes and then is stored away Forgotten, although there Stacked to just ferment one day And leave its stench near everywhere It makes what’s real, the hard place Where prayers are many said Self-thought and sorrow fills that space And quiet lies the bed Another friend just passed away I bet they thought if only With all the things that come my way I hide still feeling lonely But there is health and all I need Except the strength to speak I prick myself to find I bleed I live but find I’m weak And writing as my one release Is joyous in my state Few words still offer what is peace To which I can relate I hunger joy while greeting pain No wonder voices speak The pen is writing once again A title now I seek |

And writing as my one release Is joyous in my state Few words still offer what is peace To which I can relate I hunger joy while greeting pain No wonder voices speak The pen is writing once again A title now I seek ~*~ Whatever title that you choose will always draw me in to read! This is a poem I can truly appreciate... for all of the losses, the give and take, the rewards that only we might recognize... Thank you, Rick. |

Dear Sunshine, nice to see you again, it is a funny thing my friend, not wanting to go through hard times or grief, but finding when there you somehow rejoice and feel good, I am just glad to have something to compensate. Thank you for your reply Sunshine, love seeing you here sharing time. Sincerely Rick |

Another friend just passed away I bet they thought if only With all the things that come my way I hide still feeling lonely But there is health and all I need Except the strength to speak I prick myself to find I bleed I live but find I’m weak shhheeesh, I'll tell you a little secret, we're all a little weak in this henous time of need... Honey, I'm so so sorry, please know that we love ya...  |

It makes what’s real, the hard place Where prayers are many said Self-thought and sorrow fills that space And quiet lies the bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You write from and to the heart, and your poetry always makes me feel ....human if you will. It's so good to read you, Rick~ |

If Balladeer had titled this poem I would have thought it would be about a drunk Pamela Anderson.... Well done Rick... |
