I DO understand, Ming. I DO see the pain that aches in the back recesses of the heart/soul. I DO feel the frustration of grasping at intangible (though achingly strong and valuable) thoughts/concepts/inexpressible expressions that claw and fight, via/'/ pen and paper to see the light of day.

I hurt along with you, friend.

I feel the pain. I hear the sadness. I am struck by the confusion. I understand it. Thank you for sharing.

nice write thanks for sharing

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
