Beneath rocks suddenly

I’m in the water now

When I was just dry

On top of the world

Praying thanks for rainbows

And was planning my trip

To help more people out

But now soaked in despair

I stay and wait

Wonder how long

Until I realize

I can get up now

Such evocative words. Thnxs for sharing.

It's always difficult finding oneself slipping. A step backward is a slap to one's progress but progress in itself is never linear. It's a moment in time that shall pass❤️

Thanks I’m going to spend my time thinking up a better writing ... I feel like that’s about all I can get myself to do right now that’s engaging. How are you???

I'm glad that you tapped into an outlet that allows you to express your inner emotions. I'm well, thnxs for asking hun. If you ever want to chat, I'm her for you. :)

Hi Starrlight 🌟,

Your words are so powerful.

I pause and reflect on each new line. Not a flowing poem -- rather a series of abrupt stops, and forward jumps... like a Wild Mouse.

Like your drawings and your photography, your words let the emotion out, and they connect us. You, me, our forum. Thank you. 🦜

He’s on here. I don’t know. Ellinaki

in reply to Starrlight

Well I hope and pray he doesn't do it. It's hard to know what to say when someone talks like that.

He’s my best friend. I tell him what’s on my mind everything I can think of but for some reason my mind is suddenly blank. I’m at a loss for the right words and there are no right words anyways.

in reply to Starrlight

Can we @ him here? Maybe he doesn’t realize how much he means to you.

Wonderful poem indeed but the message behind is deep and realy makes one think.

Beautiful.

Have you heard from your friend? I am so sorry Starrlight. I wish I could reach out to Ellinaki also, but he barely knows me. We only chatted briefly. Please tell me if I can do anything for you or your friend.
