In quieter moments,

we ache to be understood.

But that part of us is almost always quiet,

quiet, except to other hushed souls who possess ears to hear,

and whose spiritual skin feels the voice of others

as if it were their own. But, we are only as sick as our honesty,for

LIFES’ greatest spoken truths drive people mad,

makes people kill us,

and in this world,

in our most sublime, beautiful moments, we die to live.

We are dying to break our reservoir open

to give simply to the simple giver.

But split not your soul in grief after long seeking;

draw forth to riches reserved for one whole soul.

If but for a moment,

meld into eternity one another's encircled,

unspoken embrace.

The quality of understanding rain

soothes smooth the thorny brow.

Wretched fever breaks from unruined love,

and time is never past its prime.

Please tell me what you think

    I agree. We all have need for someone (anyone!) to know exactly what it's like to feel the way we feel, especially when we feel like we've been pierced by the thorns of the Rose of Sharon. Paradoxically, few of us enjoy hurting out loud in front of others. Words, in any case, serve but to cheapen Truth.

      Words most of all serve to but cheapen the Truth. How profound is that? I could write a poem on that line alone. Thank you for bringing me back to this one. You are appreciated for this.

  • Phhhhoooo.....

    Umm, does WOW do it for you? I suspect not - however, I have excuses. It's late, you're keeping me up, and I have a cold.

    Good Lord, man, I have to come back and continuously read more. (That a little more to your liking? I hope so! )

    I can't believe poetry doesn't make more money - then again, it is priceless. Especially the pieces like these I'm finding in your pages.....

    Much Love & Many Blessings,
