Soaring

Cheryl, I sense from the work you have been posting lately that you are hurting over a lost love. If this is the case I am truely sorry. I know love can hurt at times. Please know that time heal all wounds and you find love in the least expected places. I hope you find true happiness. You are great at expressing your emotions in words. Keep up the good work.

take back the power!

I hope we all can go with you, every day, one day at a time.

You are beautiful and growing in light every day. Thank you for bringing us along.

Beautiful, gut wrenching poem. Its hard to help another in pain I know. Just know that he/she will accept your help when they're ready.

There's nothing worst than the powerless feeling of watching a loved one crumbling in depression or despair. But if you don't soar they never will.

Wonderful expressions from the heart. Thank you for sharing.

Well written and I am with Douglas you seem to be suffering in some sort of way....please know my prayers are with you during this struggle.

Loving a person in despair must be torture-this renders the heartbreak of the helpless lover with great power.

Thank you everyone, for your kind comments.

Superb, Cheryl, not only "fly," but "fly the distance," YES... I love that image denoting not only the exhilaration of the act, but the INTENT of it. Perhaps it is that we all fall short, or fly too low, and don't see that beautiful place, far away (yet so close) where we truly need to go. Beautiful verse, and one that ends with a resounding declaration of the compelling good that you (and we seek), ... one that must be pursued "with or without you."

Free from the chains od despair,like an eagle you soared,your freedom by air,no longer a prisoner,Shell

So, you fly with the second Adam, eh? You know about that invisible dress huh? Amd all the prosecuting devils advocates would deny the righteousness that comes not from being lived, but as a gift from the liver of it. Don't tell the vipers, it just angers them We Love You!!

Nicely written Cheryl.

My words Exactly girlfriend and I Tried to tell him but he committed suicide Anyway. For whatever reasons only God knows. His peace is sealed now. I realize those are shocking words and they may be of great surprise out of the blue right here but I loved so deeply and from my inner core. I tried to prevent what was already set in his mind. When someone can't believe in themselves and they've been pushed down for so long by others it's very difficult to pull them out no matter How Much you love them. His spirit is free and he is with me all the time now but it's not the same. He's happy now and let's me know in his very special ways. I miss him but not as badly as I thought it might be. The good news:
He inspires me to live on and enjoy the life I have and live the love I still have for him the Best I Can. He's waiting for me when I Get there!

An unexpected response to your verse I'll bet! Your words have deeper meaning than you are even aware my sweet. Keep them flowing you've got alot going on you don't even know about yet. You've only tapped the surface of your talent BABY!

Paula....I am so very sorry for your loss. And I do know this feeling of wanting to help and the hopeless feeling that comes with it. Thank you for your comment. I will remember it........
