I notice I start to feel guilty while writing about this subject. I don't think that is good, it makes me reluctant to post..... I shouldn't feel guilty. Just remember this: we all express deep feelings, in our own way. We all need to work though issues our own way. So please don't worry about me, I am fine, I love you all, my friends <3

I am sorry that when the world stopped for just an instant I dropped over the edge Earth could not keep me Seas didn't catch me to wash me ashore Sit here with me be still ssshhhhhh I move for you in shadows if you look at walls gaps of doors Here I once jumped thumps remembered faded through windows, opened I once whispered smiles still linger in melodies Songs, dances reverberate bounce against walls through doors In every breath you take some love of me floats into you fills your lungs You will smile love again *** May 30, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

This is so amazing. I love this. If you can write those emotions, I am not unduly worried about you. Thank you for sharing, the love that you float and thus giving me a very good start to the day. Kai

Such a host of beautiful memories dear Darren and put together so well. So glad it has a good ending. Some day, sometime in the far distant future, exponentially you words could touch someone one in need. You don't need to apologize for anything as it is what is expressed from the artists point of view - You are most talented ...Maria

Thank you Heidi, from now on no more apologies :)

This is such a creative and impressive poetic endeavor. Never apologize for what you write, whether it I what you are feeling or not. In some form or fashion our words will touch someone somewhere and if it is another who feels this way, maybe it will help to know they are not alone. Incredible my talented friend.
