With my kids living in California, and me on this rock here in the middle of nowhere, I know what you are writing about. I do miss them, and your excellent poem brought that back into my mind. Need to make a few phone calls now!!!

FredPeyer said:

Dan, I not only admire your writing, but also your willingness to fight this fight, to overcome your maybe self imposed restrictions, to go where you have never gone before, unafraid and with open eyes.
May you succeed in your journey and may it bring you happiness and peace!

I shall become the storm
FredPeyer said:

Even in a dark room behind a closed door there is a sliver of light from below that door. Even in the darkest hour there is that sliver of light. Even in the most hopeless situation there is that sliver of hope. These slivers are the ones we have to hold on to, the ones that will guide us to which way we have to go.
And don\'t forget, PD, life is uncertain, so make sure you eat your dessert first!!!

there is not just one way forward, there are thousands to pick from. I will leave the discoveries for you to discover because it\'s in ones own heart that can truly see the truth. don\'t ever rely on others ideas, search for yourself, Poetic Dan. from what I can perceive,m your inner heart is your inner piece but like I said, that fits for me, not everyone. you are one of Billions and billions of people on this planet and please allow me to say, you stick out among the most.

This write speaks to me on a very deep level Dan. It also reminds me of a quote I found in a book one time...
\"For when a man no longer confuses himself
With the definition of himself that others have given him
He is at once universal and unique\"

Great write Dan.

I thing your journey through life has led to a spark which has lightened up your life by using a pen. your writing is astonishing to read and it intrigues me how you manage your day to day routines. I admire you and I admire your work. so. if anything, please keep writing and expressing those demons within. you\'re a great artist so keep it going.

Good write Dan. It\'s me fussing about metres again! Or syllables-per-line! This almost fits to the hymn of the same name, with adjustments here and there.
Any excuse will do, for me/us to sing it! lol.

PD, you have this uncanny ability to write from your heart and to pull us in. Wish I could help you with your \'demons\' in more than just words.

“I’m blessed with my life
But the war is always at the door.”

In some form or another, a war is always at our door!
SO don’t focus on the war...with conviction, focus on all the blessings in your life and knock on our door. We’re here for you!

Your wisdom speaks loud and clear with every write Dan. Let no one accuse you of wrong intentions with your writing. I see a poet with a great heart, writing for what he believes, freedom of the soul.

PD, both your poem and the quote are great. Need to read it again a few times to really get into it.

FredPeyer said:

PD, your poem fits right in with a poem I wrote to be published tomorrow (that decision was made before I read yours), called \'Tired\'. It is unbelievable how much the two poems have in common in essence. I love your poem!
