A sometimes forgettable yearning
sorenbarrett said:
This seems much more spiritual than religious to me and a deep desire that I wish all had. A lovely write so well expressed in poetic form a fave

This poem feels strained with feeling, the desperation reaches at me through the screen. I hope you can be at peace with your feelings, Mr. Wilhelm.

I recognize a glint of the familiar in this poem of man in the place of a well known savior in conversation in a certain garden long ago. I love the parallel and the substituted imagery that sends its message of difference and man\'s weakness. May be on the wrong track with this one but that is what came through to me. A fave

Wow, it is such an interesting perspective to see suffering portrayed as a friend, as that is the way to draw closer to the Lord. A knife ending our attachment to this world, while attaching us to the Divine. Well done!

I took this two ways, someone afraid of being harmed and someone on the make looking for an affair. Tue dual meaning of lap as once more around the track and also someone\'s lap make this work well. A fun and most clever write.

Dang! I seriously begin to wonder both whether we\'ve similar professions, and after that, how many in my profession are in this genre and on this site. Lovely and prettily rendered with rather exceptional imagery, though it seems simple, with a charming poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The condition of this genre by now is so debauched you\'d be hard pressed to pull off the trick of \"bad\" poetry. Delightfully rendered with a happy sense of fun and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Fascinating metaphor for doubts and fears which verily do eat us alive, played out until I lost track of what we were discussing in the metaphorical drama played out effectively. Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

The recognition that with the blessing of rain comes a little mud. Very nicely written this poem speaks of the tradeoff of friendship with some pain that accompanies it. Very nice and a fave for the metaphor

But none saith, where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;
(And wifes to love, as our own bodies). Nice work.
It is enough for the disciple to be as his master, and the servant as his lord.

A sense of wanting to be another person, but as they really are and not what they pretend to be. I feel a question of sexuality being raised and does marriage really bring around bliss, enjoyed the read
