in spite of what is heard
there is no reason to be scared
i am just so caught in living
you know how i am dared,

it's true i was violent
the rage i held within
the world helped mold me
i was reckless in the sin,

love was only hoped for
if true i could not see
still at night i dreamed
it would set me free,

so now time is spent
in such lonely contemplation
of my heart and soul
where is their salvation.

I have been away for some time as you know. I am pleased to be back and able to read your words dearest you have been in so many ways others seemingly can not relate. your works speak to me in night and in the day where i wish i could find the same as so many long for.

so relate in my own way...
salvation so longed for and cannot see either
you have touched the heart's pain and the soul's yeearning, my friend...
this world can be so difficult, sigh, life such a struggle and here is one within this piece who longs and dreams still...
may you find the comfort you seek and may all of us who are moved by this find the same...wmh,

Another fine work, Richard.
You really get to the heart of things.

"i am just so caught in living
you know how i am dared..."

Everyone should be so lucky. Live each day to the fullest. You never know when your last day will come.

Love,
Elizabeth
