[hometext] => I wrote this poem about a year and a half ago, during a particularly difficult period of my marriage. We were very close to divorcing. We endured, and things are better than ever right now. [bodytext] => Pain stretches my spirit, And rejection pushes me near a cliff. I have always returned, but now the elastic is worn and tired. I am scared of the cliff, yet it comforts me. For the fear is in the fall Not in the landing. How do I balance what would be lost, With what might be gained? Is there gain in the loss? Is there loss in the gain? There is no breaking; time has dulled the pain. Time has eroded passion and caring. You can’t be close, when arms are folded, Other arms are open, waiting and wondering. I don’t want to fall! Rescue me! Pull me back; return me to where I was happy. My mind is weary, tired and unclear, And my soul feels dark and lost. I want what I had, and to be where I was.

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. ©
