Real love can bridge a lot even when you're broken. i didn't think i'd ever love anyone, but i learned what it is. Someone recognized i was not garbage. These two can be okay .. they have seen the worst, now they will reach for the good. Nicely written.
We, each of us, forget how finite life is
Nature does not nurture,
Does not ask us how we feel
Sending her minion, Death, with no warning
And in the night, families call and keen
Radio waves carry the sound of our tears
Even in our pain, some things will not be forgot;
Who you love, still makes you a pariah
Each lost soul we keep close in our hearts
Mother gives us Time, to help us heal
One by one, we lose those we love
Since travel is so awful these days. Michael bought me something to keep me occupied as i wait for buses for what seems like 30 minutes or more these days..
the latest kindle ... love is love is on there .. which features some poetry from authors (including me) on GA. My only published piece.
this is hard to read, but it is very well done and pulls at me ... because i often am in dark places too ... though it has been somewhat better lately. i wish you peace xo
Thank you so much for saying that. it means a lot to me.. it really does. you are the second person who has said that to me... and when i wonder, as i often do if i should keep on writing.. these words of yours are something i can hold onto .. the fact you said them, makes all the time and work worth it.
thank you very very much. xo
At first i thought you were writing about Tom Thomson ... a real life mystery which remains as such. But then i said no... very well written and absorbing. And a pleasure to see some really good poetry in the anthology. Thanks, Parker.
Funny, touching and poignant. Well written, real and honest, i like the men standing up for themselves. It seems everywhere you turn we hear that men are the new evil. The reason for everything bad. But we know that isn't remotely the truth.
i am not yet that close to these men's age yet, but it comes to all of us.
Thanks for a wonderful piece. I truly enjoyed it.
i know that ... i am usually cold.. like now i have a blanket over my legs.. Michael wears shorts all year round, He is always too warm.
I'm glad you confirmed because i wouldn't want you stewin' over there unless its some nice beef.
