when I am gone
L. B. Mek said:
Amen!
such a powerful message
(see, it\'s so rare
to find genuine love
or kinship in our lives
so we anchor all our worth
upon those who share life\'s burdens
with us
and like a deflated balloon
if we lose this individuals
we feel, empty of air
find ourselves
wishing for an end to it all
yet
we forget, when they left
they entrusted us
with all the future smiles
they missed out on
so we, endure
we keep on, remembering them
cherishing them
yet celebrating them, by laughing
that much louder
loud enough for it to count
as the sound of two people...)

Alone
L. B. Mek said:
it\'s so agonising, to witness
there is still, so much hope imbued in these words
despite all the anger, hurt and lingering resentment..
why do we seek the affirmation and attention
of those who, Choose
to abandon us...
(this is such an emotive and tender read
thank you! for choosing to share

Alone
Bella Shepard said:
It speaks to me of a longing for what might have been, and patience in hope on so many levels, no matter how long we have to wait.

Lost Dreams
Bella Shepard said:
Your metaphor is beautiful. I make a habit of going outside, right before I go to bed, and have the privilege of seeing a multitude of fireflies in the woods behind our house. I\'ll think of your poem tonight and every night. Thank You!

Smile
Bella Shepard said:
Such a wonderful and powerful poem. Not only is smiling good for the soul, but just the act of smiling releases a wonderful, chemical cocktail in the brain that makes you feel good from head to toe. Your poem is extremely wise on both counts. Thank you for making me smile!

Smile
L. B. Mek said:
a positive message, thanks for sharing
I agree, smiling is a powerful weapon
against all-things dreary and bleak
in life
but, we must be careful
not
to force ourselves, to smile
and repress our true feelings..

Turtle Life
Bella Shepard said:
On my morning walks I encounter many a turtle, but have never thought about them possessing these wonderful qualities. Thanks to your poem, I will now look at them as maybe the wisest creatures on this earth. There\'s a lesson to be learned from the wisdom of nature. Great!

Constant go go go
KRWonder said:
This piece is so true to todays world. You just need to sometimes stop and take a breather for a minute, but we forget to do often. Thanks for sharing this life reminder in an excellently expressed poem.

Mental Block
L. B. Mek said:
very wise, kinda like
when we get the flu
we feel tired, lacking motivation
to even eat
but, the quicker we fight through
that feeling and eat, heartily
the quicker we get better...
we gotta fight in life
just to keep our \'normal\' status
(a great message, thanks for sharing)

Strength
lalalaEulalie said:
All my strength comes from God, I\'m miserable and wretched without him - entirely unmotivated and ill-equipped to succeed. By his strength I find confidence, and he carries me through to meet the most daunting of my obligations.
I know other people get by without him - but I\'m never quite sure how they do it either.
I know the human spirit is resilient. I believe God built that into us, a survival mechanism.
My musing aside, nice, thought-provoking work.
-Kind Regards,
Lolly
