[quote:Earth Crawler:MV80NzU3NzgxXzg3MDMxNDUxX0M5MDYyMDQx] [quote:scimitar:MV80NzU3NzgxXzg3MDIxOTY0X0E3RjkzREVF] Thank You for your thoughts. There are moments when it all comes back, all of the memories that bring us pain. There is a path we follow on this journey and rightfully so it should lead us through the gauntlet of forgiveness. Take care It seems the wounds we receive and carry are an integral part of the journey. There are many. Wound A wound have I that will not bleed And with a hush would it supersede The empty words it doesn’t need So with a whimper I shall concede. A wound indeed, known mostly by the pain. It is disorienting, the effect I would not feign Relief must wait until the return of the rain To wash away all trace of this dark disdain. A wound to heal, may it yet come to be Strange that my age has seen me free And yet has decreed my sight impaired Must I shed the tears to have it repaired? Wherein lies the man I always knew? Without remorse it seems he withdrew To an imaginary world hidden from view So the sense of silence he could construe. Return to me the clarity of my thought Without which no dream can be sought Without which no enemy may be fought Without which no smiles will be brought. Yes it seems the road narrows up ahead Naturally so it must be, no reason to dread May the sweet music of my dreams be found And as a healing salve help my soul rebound. [/quote] Wow, beautiful... thanks... By the way, I think it was around the same time (2004-ish?) that I discovered GLP. I only ever posted a handful of times until recently when I made an account... but over the years I've checked in every now and then and have always appreciated the atmosphere and information that can be found here...

Losing It
I respond to losing it with a ratcheting rise of rage
As I ponder the precarious path if I turn the page.
I do savor the sensibility of the silent sage
And yet I gather the grip on a glorious gauge.
A quest lies waiting for us in the setting sun,
Shall we stand firm or will we turn and run?
If your lantern is not at the ready to light the way
The evil enemy eviscerates everything and makes you pay.
The seeds of nature lie in wait with a need
They require disciplined duty to nourish the deed.
Shall we succeed or will we fail at this mission?
Pray that we suffer not a great mortal attrition.
There is no security in clinging to the Status Quo.
We must desperately work against the raging flow,
For if we do not with fervor fight for choosing it
I can without doubt confirm that we will all be losing it.
