-------------------------------------

She whispers, ‘Stay’ yet I find myself heading toward the bay I start with a hike though the woods if only the way I knew I could And then the marshes to soak my feet I’m on my way to a divine treat And then there is the entrance to the bay So little time to release what I have to say To immerse myself up to my neck In cooling waters, oh what the heck It’s late at night and I see the stars Will they wish me goodbye so near or far I hold glimpse to the waxing moon My spiritual turnover is coming soon Will she miss me my darling love We were soulmates attached from above I hear the ghostly fisherman’s bell And now it’s time for me to go to hell Don’t cry for me today It was just an outing to the bay

So many deal with scattered emotions. While unable to truly focus, they wish the pain to be over with. So sad. Life is precious, indeed. Your thoughts tug deeply at my heart Robert. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Thank you everyone for appreciating my poem and honoring it with POTD. It really is about the journey of mental health and the demons that some of us have inside. In the end though, let’s hope there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

A suicide poem? Hmmm... And yet sadly many find themselves in such desperate situations. Enjoy your day in the light

Hello James, Congrats and you beautifully captured the bittersweet essence of memory and loss. I love how nature intertwined with personal reflection. I felt the weight of nostalgia and the haunting questions of what was and what remains. Oh the harsh reality of innocene of childhood and starkness of adulthood. Excellent POTD! Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Dear Robert, This is so sad, and so poignant, as i know sometimes even love cant save someone that believes and longs for eternal peace in a place away from the worldly chaos that they breathe in, its never easy, mental health, and suicide is a subject that needs more attention, i see so many struggle in life and i wish this world would be a better place for many. As we are all fighting something in silence …youv also painted imagery in such a vivid and soul hitting manner! Felt this! FAVE! Sending you light always, and i Hope whoever reads this would know they aren’t alone and theres always a reason or more to stay, just keep breathing
