Melissa,
Write on I say, that I might gain peek at my heart so mysterious, write on I say....write on
Rodney Evan Bohen

To swallow me within the haze
of thoughts that run too deep…
While washing over every hope
I fight so hard to keep.

Arriving in an instant as if
ushered by the wind…
So futile to rebuke the heart
that I live to defend.

I feel very bad not visiting sooner because you are one of my favorite poets. I do try to spread it around!

--- Love the title and the poem especially the 2nd stanza!

To face each moment as it comes
from flame to dying ember…
Is all that I must ask of me,
it’s this I must remember.

These are the truest words ever spoken. Great write, great message.
