Dear F J, your poem is very emotionally expressive and beautiful. Your last two lines, especially, are rich with imagery and alliteration. A deep and meaningful piece. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Very well written. It's a constant battle in my head. One minute busying my mind so I don't get lost in my thoughts, the next releasing the stress and trying to find the quiet inside of me.

Re-New Re-Start pick some place new. and begin again. I'll say that I have done it. As a soldier in the army moving after another assignment. I like to think that I'm home. and I like this poem.

Thank you very much Robert. Very sorry for my late reply. Life threw some rotten tomatoes at me and I had to clean up the mess.

Sad, but creative. Thanks to your suggestion, I put up my first contest. Check it out!

I saw it :D I love the meanings behind my grandson's Hawaiian names but it would take me all of 2020 to make an acrostic with them lol! Unique contest concept Juliet! Which makes it that much better!!!

I don't think this is creepy at all. I think it's an awakening of sorts. Loving, ..."Send me home where silence reigns...", that is the Home you must travel to within the dark night to find all the secrets of answers that unfold in the Light, like those seen in a hall of psychomanteum where the ghosts of past and future respond to your now. I love this poem. Not creepy at all. It is an Epiphany. x

lolol He is my best critic when it comes to those who do not read poetry often. He is also quite honest about it as you can see. Thank you LL!
