A Prayer for Ern

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.

Michael,
I often think of my live as a warehouse full of trunks , each with its own time of what I did, what sounds were in the air, what smells and, especially who i was with, at my age there have been many friends, lovers, enemies and clowns... no matter how it went, I want them all back with friends. If I could go back, I would change nothing.

Your words are what true friendship is: - unselfish - giving without demand, thoughts without cant. Wanting peace for the Self of another being who needs more than more. Thoughts of Ern and many similar who can never have enough care and awareness should be - ongoing.

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.

Your poem is very sincere, but I feel on the outside of this one. What has happened to Ern?

[Michael Sun Bear]

He checked himself into a mental health unit of a hospital. He said he would be in there for a month.

Dear Ern, your kindness weaves through the friendships of many here. May you feel the love and light and return to us, rejuvenated and well!

Thank you, Michael, for bringing this to our attention! Bless you!

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!
