Find The Way

I feel emptiness

and pain within my heart.

I cannot explain the reason

or location, but just that

there is an empty place within me.

Sitting in an empty room

not being all alone

even though there is

no one else but me

to view the day and live it as it may be.

Thinking of the past and

hopes of what the future may be,

but I still have emptiness

as I think and wonder

if I really have found the path.

No matter what you think

or what you fear,

your life will unfold

to what it is,

and now it's up to you to find the way.

Another retrospective/introspective piece that allows us to reflect Willard.

Greetings to Poet Willard Wells

With wise words painting a psychoanalytical reflective ontologic moment "Find The Way" flows in good rhythm and poetic voice.

I have enjoyed the reading of "Find The Way" for its subject dealt and poetic beauty.

With respect and admiration,

Such words of praise expressed in great kindness.

Your words I would say leave me speechless, but of course that has never happened. I never seem to be at a loss for words, but seldom find words as subjective as yours in praise of my work.

I agree my friend.
"No matter what you think
or what you fear,
your life will unfold
to what it is,
and now it's up to you to find the way."
The above lines is needed wisdom for the most of us. Thank you Willard for sharing the excellent poetry.

Yes, live is a maze and we have to find our way through it. At certain moments we have to turn, take another road or decide which one of the many possibilities we'll take. Thank you for sharing these thoughts, very inspiring, Willard. :) Rudi

[Willard Wells]

i really like the ending. that was very hopeful. great job :)

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

I think even as we hear and write of the pain and suffering around the world, if we are to continue we must find the hopefulness in the world. Without out hope there is not reason to go on.

And there is always hope.

Willard, this sort of struck me in a place of heightened emotion as I've just watched a friend long-term relationship crumble. This described my feeling perfectly. Everyday is going to come and only the person himself can decide how to handle it. It may not be easy but there are still choices and chances
. Great write loved every bit including the flow wrote choice and form.

[Willard Wells]

We can only listen and help others find their path while we do our best to find our own. Each of us as individuals in the end right or wrong, must commit to our future. Life is what you make of it. A fact and for some a hard truth as they look for others to pull them up. Thanks for another generous review of my work and thank you very much.

I really enjoyed your wonderfully written poem from start to finish ... trying to get through all the emotions that at times we can't explain what the reason(s) are but know it does exist ... we can only hope the emptiness will be fulfilled and the pain subsides. We can't do anything about the past but learn from it as we embrace the future a little stronger and definitely wiser ... Great poem, Willard!

[Willard Wells]

I am glad you enjoyed my words. All we can ask of our writing is to make us happy and if we move someone else we have gone beyond excellence. Thank you for you time and insight.
