my apologies

I know what you're thinking

 

and I'm sorry.

I can't explain.

I don't have words enough for it . . .

I want to be honest.

Bare all to you,

it's just there's so much weight

bearing on me today.

Too many voices

whispering in my ear -

wanting too many things.

 

I may avoid your gaze now

 

but later

 

the skies will clear again

This is a beautiful and honest piece. Often, I find myself not wanting to be around people that I normally love to be with and it's nothing they've done, it's just my cloudy head not finding the words. You have such a way of putting such deep and unexplainable emotions into words and I so admire you for that.

[Ed Hart]

wonderful poem. so clearly illustrating our vagaries of mood.

[TamiViolet]

Oh, I know how this feels, Emily. Sometimes alone time is what we need...and want...

too many voices... yes? as the narrator says... wonderful.

[Patient Poet (Yos)]

you describe right how confused you were, when it was time to stop ... and back again with much better knowladge of where this is going :)

[Narnie]

So many will understand these thoughts. Those that don't are lucky indeed. When we're low, it's that eye to eye contact that makes or breaks us. Sometimes it's just not worth the risk.

I was mistaken before. This is my favorite piece you've done. Honesty may be the best policy but that doesn't mean it is the easiest. And more difficult than the truth is having to offer regret for a wrong that you have done

From dear friends to that nagging little piece of paper on the floor that I have walked by countless times now, there are times when times become too much. Life becomes about trying to remember to place one foot in front of the other as you walk along a path you no longer remember why you walk it, but you walk it all the same, believing perhaps that somehow you will get somewhere sometime or something of the like. Focused on that, everything falls by the side - the small, the big, one and all...

simple and enchanting....pretty much your trade mark ,now,...and I loved how you moulded it and then ended it...a small,suggary delight...,
