Alcohol, for some people, is the only way to have a temporarily break from what they are suffering. They need the break to survive, like a drowning person would grab anything he could reach, even though, that something might get them killed. I do understand them. It is a tragedy for everyone involved in it. Thank you for bring it up.

In my rich and colourful life i\'ve actually been on the other side of this. My lovely partner of 8stone (112lbs) and 5ft 5 used to get so wound up she would attack me. i didnt retaliate for i knew i\'d be arrested. The marks on me, she couldnt seriously hurt me, were the evidence. Twice neighbors called the police. I\'ve never spoken about it. I wrote about her in joey played saxophone. Understanding is diffiicult because she was the love of my life. That poem says it all.

Firstly respect to Candlewitch for sharing.
Also respect to Fred for broaching this subject and expressing so brilliantly through words from your imagination. Fantastic!
I\'ve been there too, but with mental \'abuse\' instead in the form of controlling - this doesn\'t have physical marks to show. I had managed to pick the same sort of person as my Dad (as we do) in a relationship. I wouldn\'t focus on abuse of women though, as I also have knowledge of the opposite side - it\'s just even more swept under the carpet, because it\'s not seen as being strong. :-(
The \'reason\' this all comes up time and again and is never going to go away, is because although intelligent, we are still animals essentially. There is no \'excuse\' despite this for the instigators, such as drink, etc., but only respect for those with a will to change.

HI STEVE ~ They ar not Church members who have been assaulted but ladies from the Community who have come to the Church for Sanctuary because they know the Men are Gentlemen and the Ladies Angels. As a Church we have access to Safe Houses for Battered Wives ~ Salvation Army and YMCA for under 30\'s Violent Men hate to lose their hold on vulnerable Ladies so we often have to face violent Men ! In my experience all churches are Sanctuaries for those in Society who are hurting ~ OK BRIAN

An all too familiar pattern in this troubled society is seeing a female bearing the brunt of domestic violence - a fine reminder of woman\'s tragic position at these times Fred.

It\'s the alcohol that does it - affects the mind. Causes people to act like monsters. Of course, we can\'t blame the alcohol itself. it\'s only a \'thing\'. People drink it, and too much at times. A fine write.

This sad story is so often repeated - I never can understand how men (and women too) can ever act like this to their fellow man (or woman) . Being very politically correct aren\'t I. This is such a sensitive write about such a difficult problem - great stuff Fred

A flowing, peaceful beauty that lends to deeper thoughts. Funny. As far as my faith goes, I think I am a dandelion in Christ. That made me giggle, but it hit me sort of profound. This is gorgeous, Fred.

Could this masterpiece be a tribute to the most successful vegetation on the planet. Either we need to make a breakfast cereal out of the stuff or breed more rabbits.. they seem to dote on dandelion leaves. Nice one fred.

Such a sweet writing Fred. I love the dandelions. They are beautiful, soft and medicinal plant. I used to be light them before. Be floating around before I had kids. Now I\'m a lot quieter. Thanks for writing this beauty.

Brilliant write Fred! I love this. It makes me think, a seed we see as so beautiful, but don\'t appreciate the plant. There\'s beauty inside everything! Especially so often in presentation in your words.

The stately dandelion - I love them they bring such colour and vitality - it\'s a shame they are not generally held in high esteem, Love this poem too it does them great justice and so well drafted - nice one Fred.

Self transcendence. This is the most difficult part to do in life. To transcend yourself you must forget who you are and this is what no one wants to do. We are rather very self important to accept deeply changes. A beautiful writing indeed.

A fine write Fred. But I don\'t go along with Erich\'s quote myself. yet the poems seems to move from \"the act of living itself\" through to the end \"Finally, there is meaning in our life\". Otherwise I think we would be all wrapped up in \'self, self, self\' and nothing and nobody else. Oohh I\'m waffling a bit now! lol.
