Notes About The Poem

A-Conversation-with-Micaela-Flenda_fy1

- Pain -

The kingdom of the unknown
I see it clearly

Tears for suffering
Crying for the lost blood 

The pain
Lightning as flashes

I'm falling deep
My soul becomes stretched

Burning pain
The shades of blue

I'm sorry
I will never show you my scars

We "never show our scars" we pen them into words, a puff of relief, a sigh of healing.. we elevate them into beauty.. a beautiful piece of art though dipped into pain! Be blessed always dear Anne-Lise.

Scars are the road map that defines us. They help to make us who we are. Although difficult, I believe they should be shared, if only with those who are closest to us, and we should not be ashamed of them. A very meaningful write Anne-Lise.

Hello Dear Anne-Lise, A very riveting and heartfelt write here!! For me, each of your sequential couplets bring numerous images to my mind. Given the historic and present-day cruelty in our world today, many images abound worldwide of people (adults and children) who have had tremendous pain inflicted on them and other intolerable actions committed against them both in spirit and in body. A very poignant couplet write. Your last couplet says it all!! A FAVE!! Best Weekend Wishes, Gary

Anne-Lise, the depth of poignancy in your moving poem reaches in and grabs my heart with its powerful yet delicate expression. Superb emotional poetry that is felt rather than just read. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
