"And yet we still are not afraid / Nor shall we ever be for we are free / To feel what is real"
Transcendental Sonnet #1349: To Feel What is Real
for Jill Eisnaugle
We have been deceived we have not been believed They told us lies but failed to realize That our hearts trust and are not covered by rust Like their own We are real And we feel What it is like to be betrayed
How much it hurts to be alone
And yet we still are not afraid Nor shall we ever be for we are free To feel what is real To feel what we feel In all its true color and intensity Come let us be: come feel what is real with me

: ) So happy your heart is strong enough to love again. Wonderful write Steven.
I'm speechless, Stevie. Really, I don't know what to say. You really have voice in this poem and its clear. In the end though, the opinions that others have of us are only skin deep, as long as we do not allow them to overtake us. In that regard, I think we're our own worst enemies in our ability to often bottle things when we should be letting go!
Hang in there and thanks for the dedication. I'm honored, truly.
