I'm still finding life very hard, and I'm trying to find shelter. 25th May 2007.


Benediction.

My anger is supple.
It's limber.
My life is compliant,
It could be simpler.
The clock has struck,
so as to cause impact,
But I'm stuck.

My anger is bending.
I'm limber.
But I'm still stuck,
Without impact,
The clock has struck.
Ignite by friction,
Please, benediction.

I really like this one, John. I was impressed speechless, after reading it (which doesn't happen very often).

You're never stuck in life, even if it looks that way.
Every day is the first day of the rest of our life. It took me quite a while, too, to be able to believe that.

You're truly blessed with words.

They always say the life of a poet is rarely easy, maybe its because we look at life differently from others or more passionately, and you are an exceptional poet John , so be patient and I'm sure things will come right for you eventually.

Zoya Zaidi
Hold on John darling,
Life has many hues,
And before you grow up,
Through every one you have to pass through,
Life at every bend will test you anew,
And you will have to fight,
But you will come through,
Because, I know you are brave,
Because, I know you are wise,
And you will fight...
AND YOU WILL WIN...

(((Big fond hugs dear friend)))
Love, Zoya

Compliant - I've been there. It doesn't always work for me.
Wings need space in order to soar. But then the reality of too many things usually keeps us in place - not necessarily 'our place' but in place. One inspiring theme in the film 'The Knight's Tale' is that we are meant to be able to change our starts. I feel for this poem.
