A PRAYER FOR ERN


I quiet myself 

Watch my breathing

Linger in sweet nothingness

The Truth

Between breaths 

And heartbeats both

There I find you Ern

Cherish you 

Call you back

To the love of your

Friends.

Ern is my dude, I have been praying for him so much, I love his heartfelt reviews and he has understood me like a brother. Ern we all care about you sir.

I'm sorry to hear of this. He was accepted almost immediately when he signed on here and for good reason. I wish him well, he's a good guy.

In those still and quiet moments, what we would do to have them back with us. A poignant and beautiful prayer for Ern. Lovely writing Michael.

Yes! Ern! How I get so caught up in myself and my own stupid nothings!
Also, I read your poem in About me. It is awesome!

He’s one of the kindest person and he’s such a good friend and he’s so supportive. I know we will see him again and, the thing you did with this is so noble. It shows that you are such a kind and caring person, this is a great poem. hope we will talk about this poem again when he read this. Thank you for being so thoughtful

I thank you both. Ern will eventually see it; In the short time I have been active here in the Cafe I felt I developed a bond with him, I worry about him. I want him to know we care.
