Sorrow you show me something deep
Hidden within the heart of me
Barricaded by my mind
And the wounded part of me
That wants be to be unkind
To the ones who in not seeing me
Hurt me
But who is seeing them?
Can I pretend all of this pain
Is about me
Or am I merely a channel
Lately I see how much you struggle too
How I wish I could wrap your fragile heart
In a blanket of tenderness
When it gets this hard to breathe
Truths are rumbling that so badly need
To be received
And so it is my sorrow reveals
A deeper truth
I lost the way to
Only seeing things through
My own
Narrow point of view.
Yes I think the sorrow within runs deep and hidden, like a pebble tumbling along a riverbed…

It’s been happy week for me, my on-line poetry meeting on was a fabulous event for me… And and writing friends at the Geelong Writers group, has kindly offered to help me edit and format my manuscript for my book, we had our first session yesterday, and it went fabulously… and the results so far are looking fantastic.. It’s 10 chapters of poems, and we’ve done 6 already.. I’m ecstatic.. πππ

It’s always hard, when those waves of sorrows attack us, but we need to hold strong to the thought, that just like any and everything else good or bad, it’ll all, come to past, and hopefully, that’s enough, to get you through, another, day…

That is so true though it often feels a constant sorrow does rise and fall just like the ocean tides.π
