Have you ever felt sick...and not quite sure what is wrong?
HEART DROPSEY by: Linda Law Here it is late at night Feeling sad, something isn't right Can't rest, no matter how I try Shortness of breath, don't want to cry Why do I feel this way Holding the pain within...day after day There is no fever, no cold or the latest flu What can be the matter....I am asking you? There is a hole, black and cold, of this I know No broken bones; no joint aches or bruises that show When people ask me, I say, I just don't know! Until a friend dropped me a note; I'll share it below... Have you ever heard of Heart Dropsey he asked? No I answer... is it serious, will I die, does it wear a mask? Heart Dropsey he slowly began to explain Is when you get down, and just don't want to get up! That's it! Suddenly I cried... that explains this hole I know this heart of mine has dropped inside my soul... Perhaps I'll give it one more try... Lay my head upon this pillow... so what if I cry? Release the sadness, let the pain erupt from within Stroke the heart, give it strength, let it get well once again... LIft its way up to the top... breathe strong and courageous Heart Dropsey is simply momentary... it was feeling down Yet now it has begun to lift... It's no longer tired... This down trodden Heart is strong and no longer dropped Heart Dropsey is a passing moment, one well deserved Stroke it, Love it, Watch it begin to beat strong once again... Perhaps it will return another day... but for now... It's gone... it's disappeared... Heart Dropsey is no longer near!

I am glad your pain is gone. Depression does that to a person. I want you to feel well. I know you have lost your husband, and I am very sorry you did. I hope you give me the opportunity to love you. I have so much in me for you. I know hurt, I am an expert at it. It will take time but we have it.
You are a brilliant writer you describe your pain very vividly. My next write will be for you. I shall title it Linda.

GOD BLESS YOU
LOVING YOU
TONY

Oh, yes, I know what you mean.

A lovely poem about being kind to oneself.

I like Sage's comment, so I'm sending you pillows full of eucalyptus and spearmint. That always helps me feel better.

Blessings,

Christine

Linda,

Very nicely written Linda, and as Fee says I guess we all suffer from it from time to time.

Poetic diagnosis is therapy within itself, Linda...ticker's connected to the spirit chain...you got the beat, girl...sending embroidered pillows...and now I lay my head to sleep...Blessed Be.

Beautiful and wise...sometimes it's just better to go with it for awhile rather than fighting it. Nice to read your work again, Linda.
