... clouds press down,
weighing heavily on
shoulders bowed by
sky. Where is the sun?
Gone, like my Daddy,
to destinations, unknown:
how I miss them, the sun
and my Daddy ... both
brought light into my
world. It is dark, now.
these losses are not quick in subsiding Karla -- the sense of loss never goes completely away of course -- it just becomes a little easier to accept and live with over time -- peace and love to you my friend -- JMW
These words tug at the heart strings and bring to mind the little girl in me that just wants to go home to where things are all better sometimes...

Oh Karla, your heart is still heavy and hurting and I pray that one day it will heal so you can smile once again. Your Daddy would much rather see you smiling and happy....
Such a fetching but killer title. It really does take so long (years) to overcome the loss of a loved one. It seems we no sooner do than we may be "out of here" - Of course this is the "musical subject" of my soon to come new instrumental CD: IN MEMORY ONLY - but you say so well with those incredible skies and words...

Karla....
your writing certainly expresses the lights and the darks as they pass through your life.. I wish you had more bright days than you've had these past months; but I am certainly thankful that we have had you...to write such lovely verses for us to share... lindalaw
Your poem reminds me of a phrase I've used frequently: "storms of the soul." There is light, shadow and darkness, and each, in a physiological sense, conquers the other by the nature of our thoughts. An interesting write, Karla.
Karla, it is good to write about your darkness. The sun will come out again, and your daddy's spirit is still with you, just listen and you will hear his wonderful voice guiding you toward happiness and joy.
Peace, love, and light,

Karla....your sadness is an emotion felt by many and your poem will surely bring forth many tears...and yet the loss of your Daddy is like the clouds and the sun...a part of you for ever just like the thoughts within this poem...
Dear Karla, over the despair clouds the sun always shine and the sky is always blue, and if you look carefully you will see your Daddy's face smiling at you.
Oh, this one oozes with sadness; hope the sun will come out tomorrow and in the days ahead for you! Daddy is with us; he's in our hearts, and our memories; he will never leave! Very well done; brava!

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
