Your words of deep recognition
Rendered me mute
As my heart awakened with all its pent up feeling
Tears rising to the surface
Slowly falling down cheeks
As my heart swelled like an ocean in my chest
Threatening to burst the banks of reason
I no longer trust as well
My stoic defence of strength as I did before
And even as I say the words
Please don’t worry I am strong
I know they only tell half of the truth
Whole oceans still separate us
Despite all our attempts to be together
But I have not done with trying
And I no longer believe you are lying
Despite this
I am never really alone
And yet I am
Life is so full of paradox!
And as my heart awakens to the full onslaught of truth
Disguised behind speech
I find I can finally breathe again
Because these tears showed me a reality
Opened by your empathy
Recognition of an emotional truth
I have hidden inside
For so very very long
Emerging From The Dark Night 
I felt a deep sorrow and doubt in this poem.

Doubt? That is interesting, Ivor. Yes the sorrow is so very deep I wonder if its not only mine sometimes but ancestral too, I don’t know but yes it came from deep sadness.

Oh I think we doubt ourselves a fair bit, well at least I do, so I just keep writing them down, maybe that helps put things back into perspective.
