A confluence of the most fortunate set of events

on conversations with Noel yet again. If I ever publish, I'll owe you royalties ...:)

It was a confluence of the most
unfortunate set of events,
that I landed
on your door step,

naked, and bleeding,
unaware of all the wounds,
raw and opened,

I dressed them so well,
I didn't even feel them anymore,
or so I thought.

I stepped on a few people
to make it out of the muck,
found you with a spot of luck.

                I fought,
                I wrote,
                I laughed,
                I loved,
                I cried ...

               the best parts of me lived,
               while the other half died.

And through
a confluence of
the most fortunate set of events,
I have you by my side.

those who are with us through the worst, those are our real friends.

[Lyn Anderson]

This is so true, thank you.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Life is indeed a conflux 'M' and a well described journey in this one as the metaphor is so very apt!

[Rene Salinas]

To befall it is said mostly when something bad happens to land on someone and if we are not carefull the something can become an insormountable obstacle. In this writing there is a clear acceptance of this fact but there is more , a nearly sequential acount that allows us to look into Kl's personality how the burning desire to learn to get through to continue and how some experiences were held while other burnt. But there is more the clarity to see that out of that which could have been a hindrance of a collosal magnitude something came about.

That's why we were given eyes to see.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you for your ever thoughtful insights. I do so enjoy your reviews.

I love your poem KL.. yeah if this came from conversations with Noel, royalties are due.. but I suspect this was inside you for sometime.. I thought the way you structured each part added to the power of the poem... and these lines struck a chord with me: " I dressed them so well,
I didn't even feel them anymore,
or so I thought." we do this lot, think we have understood and healed and then we meet a friend and wham, everything just whacks us upside the head to be worked out once again if we dare.

Anyway KL, It's a really nice piece of artistic expression... I'm sure Noel did his version of the "happy dance"... speaking of music (?) the music was spot on.. will have to listen to more of "Heartist's" music

They are an excellent band. I really like their stuff.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for the review btw, sheesh, my manners ...:)

[redzone]

it's ok, you have food and sexy things on your mind, I understand.. :-p

[Delmar Cooper]

Well written, a poem to be proud of

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Often those little conversations spark the most sincere writes. I have several that came from conversations with a certain tree I do recall ...

I was half expecting 'that's what friends are for'...but i should know better. It's always a good thing to have a friend as a safe place to fall and save us from ourselves.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah, well, friends are for sharing your Skeletons too ...:)

[Frieda P]

And showing up with a shovel need be. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Bingo. Yep, I think I have a few who might do that for me.

[Frieda P]

Count me in, I have an uncle with a cement mixer too. haha

[NoelHC]

Well spoken, and showing the spirit that one needs to survive. The friend by your side, however found, will help out through thick and thin.

[Lyn Anderson]

Glad you read it. Inspired as it was by your clever self.
