This was written for a very Special friend, who is going through a very rough time health wise.

Harbinger   A weight upon my heart is placed; I did not wish it there ! Tears brimmed up and freely flowed like a streaming watercourse Sadness, pain and bitterness, how could this be happening now ? I question but the tears flow still, this heartache that I now feel. Volcanic feelings erupt within and leave me in despair Why should it be, why did it raise its heinous vengeful mind, Distress and I'm so sullen, I feel the anger surge, Numb with shock and stunned with grief I toss as if in a hurricane, My body from my souls’ detached my mind’s about to burst. Could I believe that this is real, an onslaught army of evil words, This is not the first, but twice before, I’ve seen the bitter feud. Contempt I feel for the malefic side, you can’t reach in and talk. It hangs in there and strips you bare, but a stronger soul you have. Stand tall, stand firm and give it grief don’t let it knock you down You may stumble and sometimes crawl, but NEVER will you fall. E. Bretton 27th April 2004 - All Rights Reserved
