Care Pressed Me Down By Karen Hecht Springer Care pressed me down With all its might Yet softer than a shadow’s whisper I was so passively dismissed During the waxing and waning of the moon Left unable to breathe Not seeing, not believing And here I sit with nothing Hands bound behind back Invisible shackles on wrists Tears fall as the dawn of a new day Brings fresh stabs to an already broken spirit But as I cry I realize I do have something after all Because I still feel Care pressed me down But it has not yet won

care makes us human. it is one of those indispensible aspects of our lives. we must just learn how to manage it.

There is an indomitable spirit that resides within Man that will neither quit or give up.Cares can cast us down at times, but if we reach within we will find the greatness and splendor to bounce right back again Excellent and feeling write Peter

I read this to be a very muscular writing. Even with the words 'soft,' 'whisper,' and 'passively,' there counters 'might,' 'hands bound,' 'shackles,' and care pressing down, with a feeling of balance between the two poles, by the end of the poem. I appreciate the power in these phrases: "Left unable to breathe," "And here I sit with nothing," (that is so large a concept), "...a new day/Brings fresh stabs..." with the largest piece of all -- the ability to feel being something valuable, regardless of which polar end in which the feeling resides. Lots of substance in this poem, Karen. ~~ Diana
