I Am Grieving You  "Why are you in bed so early?" you called me to ask. I said, "I am grieving you. It's one hell of a task. I have drank beyond walking. I've cried beyond weeping, and I don't feel like talking, I just want to be sleeping. I'm sad for thinking so much about the things of you I miss, tossing, turning, in my stomach, I can't even write of this. Stop! Let it go now. Please go away and let me grieve- Let me drink and cry alone! Damn! Why can't you leave?" You said, "I am grieving you". November 16, 2004 |

A story? A poem? Art? I say, all in one...what's the difference? Great job! |

Grief sometimes can last a lifetime which begs the question - do we grow from it? I think you have and one day I may as well. Great poem, Dixie! |

I dont know who the person is And he has become I dont know the situation as situations become I dont know the words Haven't done for time Sometimes on death row It can seem a long, long, time When this nothing, something always calls Tossing in the gut and in the nether halls Dont know why we do it And what we think we have Only lawyers and telecoms Make from the good to bad I have, and will confess That you got me writing I suppose it was that 'Sunny Exposure' Dave |

Painful and beautiful to read, perfect picture too....sadly, I relate... Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |
