Carrie Richards Poet Diminished Hexaverse

River of Love

In the dark of night

on the edge of sleep

when rivers of doubt

flow into the streams

of self esteem

a lace of light

will remind me

to spread my dreams

with fresh insight --

I cannot

share my love

if I lose

sight of

loving

me

Andrea Dietrich July 23, 2013 at 11:56 PM For me, this is the best one I think I have seen. this is what I had wanted to say but I was unable to be this creative so I did it a different way and a different theme!!

April Gabriella July 23, 2013 at 10:06 PM Wonderful piece and you are absolutely right. :)

Poet Tacito July 23, 2013 at 8:22 AM Precisely!!!! So, so many forget that. They dedicate all of their heart to another, without valuing their own first. Excellent reminder that all need to keep in mind!
