I can't stop crying this morning for our sweet friend. Her loss is awful...beyond words. But you express it so poignantly Jack. As someone with an interest in the cause of women and children subjected to violence let me thank you for channeling this. More men need to stand up for the innocent and weak. Speak to share this grief and tragedy. Thank you Jack...with all my heart!

"Thoughts flow like the tides
on an endless journey,
weaving contours and
bends deep within
this sorrow that washes
over me
I watch as these waves slip away,
carrying hopes still lingering"
Lovely, touching deeply, mesmerizing images...Style with quality...:)

You are . I'm like you we sometimes sell ourselves short...Pen on friend...:)
Oh wow, Jack! The way write your poetry with such passion and honesty, the way you put your heart and soul into your writes. You come up with some amazing images and writes.
"I sink slowly
into the wet sand…
pleading with the waters
for answers to shamed questions,
while counting the shades of violet
framing a weeping sky"
I loved it, the imagery was vivid and it was really touching. Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do, especially to a loved one or someone you hold close to your heart. I remember saying goodbye to my friends over in the Middle East was hard, we had known each other since we were 5 and went to school together for 8 years. I loved this, Jack.
