There it is

The words you write will lead you to the brightness in your life, keep writing and get rid of your demons onto the page.

There it is
dusk arising said:

I wonder at you being so harsh with yourself. You are a human thing, a man, a man like many riddled with imperfection - it\'s just the way we are made.
But if ever a man fought his demons it\'s you. And you\'ve let us see some of your struggles too.
Have a break from this serious stuff and laugh, yes laugh at your failings. Love yourself. You strive for self knowledge, self improvement, a spiritual path. Look around yourself... there aren\'t so many people as aware as you. You\'re courageous, brave, a fighter.
You are no longer yesterdays man, you\'ve lifted yourself. You\'re not perfect yet - but who is.

Very strong write Dan but all our actions give us the experience to move on into a better life.

words of advice for young people? Although some of us old dogs might learn from it as well.

Wise words for the young to heed. But they are tied into human nature and will not learn wisdom by being told. If it were so easy, then even horrific warfare would stop.

Woof! Be quiet Fido
! (18+ watchdog). Got him on my lead here.
Well, it\'s a natural human function - apart from my daftness of swooning.
Maybe it\'s \'everything in moderation\'. It\'s the same if we overdo anything. We may suffer the consequences - over-drinking, over-eating, etc.

The birth of music in me

I read this and I found I couldn\'t comment right away. Sincerely, this is one of my favorite poems, simply amazing my friend.

The birth of music in me
dusk arising said:

A mans tale of growing. A reflection of what was, from where you are now. A long journey, who did that for you? Well it was you wasn\'t it. The diamond light inside you initially stifled by circumstance and ignorance began to tell you \'there is a better way\' and you listened.
With that encapsulated in your soul you\'ll readily relate to others lost in struggle.
Wisdom comes, perhaps not with answers, but with a survival path.

orchidee said:

You only gotta worry about my 18+ \'watchdog\'. Woof! There he goes. Not now Fido!
He barks loudly at any not marking poems as 18+ if they need to be!
It\'s tricky though, as sometimes he barks to save me from swooning over certain poems. heehee

dusk arising said:

Every day Dan, you are becoming more aware and growing. Be proud of what you are becoming. You will never be perfect but you strive to be happy and to self improve. It\'s not a perfect world, the wise accept others imperfection and smile at their humanity. Smile at yourself.

It can be so hard, be strong, be alive and show that you are strong enough to move forward. The light is there.

Oooh The feel of this posting comes through so clearly - these words get straight into the heart - a \"life of endless sorrow\" is such a hard challenge.

And now you know you have that brother! A fine write Dan.
So - see you later. I\'m off to stand in a den of lions, to overcome my fears. See ya later, if they don\'t eat me!

OMG - I read this one AFTER the one where I told you you were channeling Rumi! I got it so right!!!!

Lorna said:

Dan lovely - you are channeling Rumi:
\"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.\"
Rumi
