Gentle ripples float about his wheels, searching inquisitive around spokes, questioning apparent lack of motion, now the little fish turn their backs and swam back. Eyes intrinsically profoundly fixated on innermost thoughts, where loud voices debate the time away in warm orange evening glow, fleece quilt for curious stars Ears catch finest nuances in vibration inside, the soft rumble ebbs into loud roar of high tide and first waves leap and lap at his numb feet with never ceasing hunger As if with sorrow, he pulls the rims and wheels himself out, thoughts collected and arranged in fluctuations Undulations and arranged back into working order *** February 18, 2017

Darren your poems are so filled with powerful emotion and expression, it almost pains me to read, as I wish for you the stars, joy and happiness, all that you so rightly deserve.

A poem of substance, incredibly well written. To not feel you can count on your body is a feeling I am familiar with and trying to find a sense of the norm, something, anything to trust, is exhausting, frustrating and usually causes more physical pain and drains the spirit. A bit of kindness towards self goes a long way plus you have the soup!! :-) You have more strength than you know, are an inspiration to others, me included. all else fails, I read Jan's limericks to laugh! blessing, lynn

It's a real terrible thing to not be able to trust your body, isn't it? It fails me in so many ways! I am slowly finding my strength. Thank you Lynn, for all your kind comments and encouraging words.

Deeply written poem. What is really normal what is norm for me it isn't for the other, but we still proceed. Thank you so very much for reading my poem :) Hugs Eve
