Tears drip..spilling with regularity..
endlessly ..with silence as a
reminder of weakness
bile gathers to remind of
the lost emotions discarded
without thought..never to return
freely
why..when too late are the
precious moments taken..
ripped away in a deluge of
self-pity
Walk with me..smell the
fragrance of hope
take my hand and hold
on to compassion
As we step into the unknown
do we falter?..or do we walk
with pride and love
Gathering momentum
we face the world head on..
unafraid..resolute..
determined to succeed
and as the ups and downs
serve to outline our vulnerabilities
do we shrink with fear, or do
we walk in the knowledge
that we are not alone………………

I am often accused of laying my heart open but to me this is necessary..it is the truth of the words that make sense of the jumble of thoughts. I have always been "what you see is what you get"..Many thanks for your kindness, it is very much appreciated

I love the title.
Also the final line as I think this is what all this is about.

This poem in incredible. It truly feels heart felt and emotional and i understand completely what you mean when you wrote the words that you did. Excellent job. The word choice is deep and thought provoking and the flow of the poem was also good. It seems to be a free write in my thoughts and i also think that those are the best ones because the mind is free with no restrictions. I like the imagery and the sensory words that you chose. They suit the poem very well. I can relate to the passion behind this poem because i have honestly felt it in my own heart. Well done and respects to the pen.

a wonderful poem and an encouragement to all who read, i am sure of it. it is amazing what we can edure, as Dolly Parton sings in her song Tavelin’ Thru " Oh Sometimes the road is ruddy and it’s hard to travel on But holdin’ to each other, we don’t have to walk alone."
Blessings and best wishes, ~richard
