Thank You

To any and all readers, this is a personal reflection, a shadow of invisibility speaking of truth...

There was a time when pain, was pain.
From  hurt  to  bruises   and then  rain.
Hail  crushed my  hopes,  impeded  life.
Future   prevailed  and   fate   in  sight.
All  blessings  to  you all who killed me.
New life has  risen through the storms.
Only  by  Love  I say this now and still.
I'm still  alive,  I bask  in Heaven's will.

wonderful poetry. I hope you will be around. We love to read you.

Concise. :D

Before anything else, I've heard you'll be leaving but I hope your heart finds the right place to settle in. May you be happy in your conquest to pursue greater feats. :)

I found this poem deep enough to open a space for it to settle in my heart. "All blessings to you all who killed me." Yes, there are people who do that. But it's rather amazing how we rise from the dead and do better.

Great write.

This was a bitter/sweet poem Nick. Still can't believe you are leaving us. You will be sorely missed my friend.

Thank you for your wonderful writes during your soujourn here....and please don't be a stranger to all your friends at Albert's and the Cafe.

Go gently...

I admire how this started off negative but ended in such a positive light. I feel as if any people can relate to this writing. Its as if through all the sadness- you brought a victory of life! Nice work. :)

Deep, powerful piece. As always, i enjoy reading your work. This is no exception + actually struck a chord with me. Especially the line "new life has risen through the storms" - very hopeful line.....

[HPsGurl1]

Short yet sweet. I loved it!

I don't know whether my favorite lines are 3 or 7-8 ... It does start out sad, but I'm glad it finishes with you still living. I really enjoy your pieces, especially this one!

[Theresa]

Started off on a sad note and then ended on a postive. I liked that. You have a way with words that no matter what you write it always sounds so beautiful. Another wonderful piece.

So appreciate your words, their format, brevity yet strong meaning.

Seems words shared are often writers cared for. That's what counts.
