Lunacy

what can i see -- but that which my eyes let me? what can i hear -- but that which my ears let me? what can i feel -- but that which my skin lets me? and within my very sanity; what can i think -- but that which my language lets me? and that which is beyond my eyes, my ears, and my skin? and beyond my language? what of It? bubbles rippling through pure noise. can anything grasp? i crave so much. but nothing holds. like sand through a sieve.

Enjoyed reading your emotive work today. " i crave so much. but nothing holds. like sand through a sieve." I think that we all go through this at one time or another...I was delighted that you stopped by..Sara

I wanted to stop by and read you Sam and thank you for gracing my poetry with your words. You thought I was young but I am not. I am in my forties, but have learned over time that the softness of my heart holds the essentials to my happiness, and is the most real thing about myself. Pretty much a naive country girl sums it up, and speaking of summing it up, love, love, love, the close to your verse! I look forward to reading more later, Cindy Lu

Cindy, thanks ever so for your gracious comment. Regardless of your age, I can tell from your poetry that you are young at heart. Just in case you are curious, I myself am in mid 50's. Hugs;) Sam
