Forsooth. I guess I\'ve said as much as thousand times and far less succinctly than yourself. Ambivalence has long been mine to stoke, yet by this late in the game I tend to succumb to the grief and ask what the aka living don\'t want to hear. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

When we as people do feel trapped in a world of the past, it\'s nice to have a friend that believes we can get over it, but we naturally assume they don\'t know how we really feel and were to scared to tell them, but sometimes we might assume wrong and they do understand more than we realise, and they could be the key to breaking those chains, nicely expressed and written

Such beautiful rhyme enfolds this poem where it is pointed out that there are two points of view. In that line alone may lay the answer in that changing a point of view can change reality. Very nicely worded this poem

incredibly well constructed, perfectly formed and from a human perspective very real particularly with regard to those very human traits which include the need to ask, to know and to believe in something outside of ourselves .. Neville

Dear, Friendship,
As if composed in the chrysalis of faith and the many doubts therein as one strives to emerge as free as a butterfly, break the mould, as you say and be the true self. A beautifully composed poem, loaded with class, honesty and if I may, a sprinkle of panache in contradiction to the theme of the poem - perhaps you are finally free or at least getting there.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

These pithy phrases they filled our ears with, none of which can be found precisely in the Scriptures, must be relegated to the damnable falsehoods long propagated by the false prophets and teachers the LORD Himself condemned outright by His prophets. \"Search the Scriptures...\" begs I and you and aught else find Him, not ourselves. We both justify and condemn ourselves, full of foibles and falling short of Him Whom we seem to instinctively know we\'re unworthy of. As the LORD\'s apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit declares, \"But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man\'s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.\" (I Cor 4:3-5) Ergo, though I wish to comfort you, I cannot justify either myself or you but urge you and myself to \"seek the LORD, seek His face continually--\" as the Scriptures also say.
Very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a familiar, very familiar dogma, not to mention a haunting, clinging, lingering poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing. Hang in there.

Nothing wrong with flaws and faults, they can become strengths, the problem lies in how we got those faults and flaws. Were we naturally born with them or did we adapt to them through other people\'s treatment of us, by their actions they then mould you into what you become. This mould can feel like a prison but it can be broken over time, nicely expressed and written write

We are who we are and sometimes we ask if there were a god why would he make things with faults but in faults there is strength and in flaws there is beauty. Who am I to criticize when I am looking out of blinded eyes. A lovely poem of questions that lead one to a gloomy view. It is wonderful that I am I and you are you.

Rhymed couplets with a choppy rhythm which some editing could perfect in a trice. An idea which doubtless must resonate with many as mothers are an integral part of every last one of us. Prettily rendered with excellent imagery and a mournful poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A tremendous tribute to a much loved mum
Poetically it is bang on rhyme flow etc
But
It\'s the feeling that sets it apart
You did her proud

A very honest, touching and heartfelt write over the strong feeling of loss that cannot be regained. The pain and hurt still haunt the vivid memories of the past, nicely expressed and written

A poem of a loss felt set so well in poetic rhyme and meter. A travail of pain and hurt that resurrects from the memories of the past. Shadows haunt this poem and leave only lost echoes of the familiar. A sad cry for return to the familiar. Nicely written

Hello, Friendship,
What a beautiful declaration of love for a kindhearted, patient and loving gentleman. You reminisce eloquently in the language of poetry. Gladdens the heart, such an outpouring of affection. It was an honour to read and a joy to wallow in. Beautiful.
Fond regards,

Very lovely and almost intoxicatingly so, rendered with a haunting suggestion of rhythm and rhyming, yet so deliciously burdened with a passionate sense of closeness and love, it seems practically hallowed. Thank you very much for sharing.

A beautiful poem of gratitude so well set in verse and meter. It speaks in softness and recognition of caring in the human condition. Words of peace from a wounded heart mended by the glue of someone that just wants to see a smile on a child\'s face. Recognition that one is not alone is the first step to growth. A wonderful poem and a fave.

Hello, Friendship,
The fear of the unknown behind a powerful smile, as if the Joan of Arc of poetry, herself was smiling at you. Exceedingly formidable and yet charming at the same time. I love it, truly.

A powerful poem of resilience and determination. A statement of strength. Words well chosen that convey the steadfastness of experience tempered in the fires of adversity. Some great lines here: (She’s stitched her wounds in silence, She’s fluent in absence, Validation? She grew it in her garden, watered it with patience, harvested it with her own hands0 Very nicely stated. The theme of the poem as I read it is one of independence and an unyielding sense of not being willing to change to accommodate others. I would not say contentment in isolation but rather acceptance and an unwillingness to bend. A fave

You are a great writer
The strength in this is inspiring
This woman knows herself inside out
And wont suffer fools gladly
\"And walk soft and sure back to herself \" superb line among many
Yet somehow I see her softer side in this as well
