Timmy's Journal - 50. Two Poems for Your Consideration

I really admire how much feeling you put into your writing. It's like a glimpse into your heart and soul, and the reader feels privileged to have that sacred view. You bring a sense of light and peace in your work, and I'm always thankful for you sharing it with us. Take time to acknowledge the light inside, and see how much joy you bring to the world simply by being you.

I wish I could say something to make you feel better and see the good in yourself that the rest of us see. In the meantime here's a big

Thanks Val... really just disparaging about the world, not myself so much ... but I'll take the hugs anytime.

Thanks for reading. many hugs and .. hope your Nanowrimo is going well!!

What will survive once we’ve destroyed ourselves? That line just took my breath away, for it speaks to the everyday bits of destruction for which we are all responsible. Poem number two made me tremble - to be in the presence of a such a kind and forgiving heart as yours. Will the heart in #2 be able to forgive the destroyer - me, us - in #1? Again, I tremble. Thanks for each of these.

Thank you. Poetry, is really me, what i see and feel. Unless I was doing a Prompt. It's the best way for me to tell you how I feel. I wish people would embrace poetry more. It's really alive, and of today not just found in musty old books. Sorry .. blathering. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. It's so nice to hear what people think, what the poem made them feel.

Thanks again,

Parker you're just as forgiving as me, lots of people are. But I wonder if we sometimes wonder why. Yes, I'd forgive the destroyer their stupidity if they really had a change of heart. Why not?

hugs xoox Thanks for your comments and for reading.

Great explorations and comments on the human condition, tim. I agree some people are ignorant of how much they can hurt someone, not just with what they say or do, but also by what they don't say or do... I think we are in the same mind frame today xo Gary

Two meaningful poems on hurt.
The first is the hurt to our world, the second to our soul.
Beautifully expressed, tim.

#1 My thoughts in your words. How many time can we go down the same road until we come back reformed? Or are gone entirely.
#2 You're generous, but I thought you would.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Adi. I think truly there are some people who have figured it out, but we are mired in the mud and mess made by the herd in front of us.

I try to be generous. I learned it. If I wasn't I'd be divorced by now.

Thanks Adi. appreciate you reading these and your thoughts.
