Poem Artwork

Storms:  all I know.  That, and
sadness, lately.  Moods as
tempestuous as the sky.  Calm
one moment, bursting with
tears the next ... I cannot tell
which way the winds will
blow or how high life's seas
will get.  All I can do is
pray they be merciful and let
me down slow and easy,
because the waves are bigger
than mere words can swim.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (7/25)

"this life boat we sail -- is fragile and frail -- before we set sail, life's half over" -- the journey was never meant to be easy -- we must each of us, give it our all -- it's our duty! God bless -- JMW

Your poems: little life jackets for your words. They'll stay afloat for a long, long while with those little (life) lines around them...

Wow! Karla you are getting too good to feel down, but I know how
easy it is for it to happen! I will keep you in prayer, and hope also, that you will reflect on how far you have come as a poet, and how much that pleases the Lord! he will give you all the power you need to overcome. Keep asking Him!

Love,
Eileen

Heeeheee!!! It's just not the weather, we're all like that too. Bright and sunny one minute, and then dark clouds and rainstorms the next. I loved this, Karla!!!

Karla, I suppose the best thing I can say is that people care,
we care and know that you will weather the storm in the strength
that you bring to your writing. -gene.

All I can do is
pray they be merciful

Sometimes, that's really about all we can do.

I wish I knew what I could do to make it easier on you. I am sorry you are having a rough time right now; you are always in my prayers. Remember that. And above all keep writing; don't give up your dreams!!!! Don't worry about others; write for YOU. To HECK with everyone else; concentrate on YOU, think of the joy writing brings to you! You certainly do that, and your writings do, too!

I love you!!

((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))) and many prayers,

As always, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

Sad write that shows your vulnerability; I know what you're going through. You aren't alone!

Very well stated Karla, isn't it funny how often our moods reflect the weather.

Are you in the change of life Karla, or in a severe depression? Not funny stuff, something deep inside you can't around and out? Maybe all that bad weather and all them storms, you've picked up its mood.
Usually it is something that is trying to break out, but for some reason you're keeping it in, feed back if you can, and see what you find. In the meantime I send Hugs and Blessings and get better soon!

True, the world is a rough place with bloody storms always breaking out somewhere and that's just the wars. When we get into people's lives it is tempestuous too. The one consoling thought is that time heals all wounds and turns tempestuous skies blue. The sadness comes in waves, doesn't it. Eventually, if we still breathe, that too shall pass.
