Can you write in spite of comment,
can your soul withstand the pain
Can you free those words hid deepest,
can you shoulder all the blame
Can your heart and mind together,
walk arm in arm as one
Can you take a breath once finished,
knowing now,
—your song has sung

Great write
Thanks, Tony!

Welcome
All valid questions to pose to any writer. I suppose it takes a degree of courage to put your heart on display. We internally struggle to find the perfect word, the right tone, the meter, and then we let it fly to the grist mill of the world. Somehow there is a reward to these self-inflicted wounds, the appreciation of the beauty in what we've created. I find this poem to be beautiful. - Phil A.
Thanks, Phil. Your words are most poignant and kind!
