Poetry’s Saving Grace Swiftly the sands of time slip by While we’re stuck, not knowing why It isn’t we haven’t enough to do Or bite off more than we can chew An unseen, unsettling aura exists A personal fog that never lifts A weight we’re unable to explain Cannot capture, name or train Guilt is lurking everywhere Lack of order, lack of prayer And physical lack of thankfulness Is seen in the lack of progress Our intent to contact friends Has only beginnings without ends We've sunk to desparation Of mundane and frustration It isn’t age, it’s in the mind Thoughts come and go of every kind No need to pay for psychiatry We bare our hearts through poetry |

There is more than a grain of truth in your mots, Sandy One!  "No need to pay for psychiatry We bare our hearts through poetry" ~ I would say that you certainly have no need for a psychiatrist, Dear Poetess! Loveya! Linda |

Dear Rae I understand where you are coming from. I started writing poetry after the death of my son in 1999. I think it has truly been a life saver for me. And I know the sorrow you have had to bear. May poetry be for you what it has been for me. Love, Joyce |

Indeed where would I be without poetry, and how would I be without poetry? Not half the woman I am today. Wonderful poem. |

"we bare our hearts through poetry" And you have done just that and in doing so have touched others and healed within. |

You speak the truth through your words For poetry is indeed the language of the h e a r t Amen to you sandgrain for writing such a poignant poem. For I, too, would be far worse had poetry not entered my life. ^_^ ~Jill S. |
