To Begin Again





When things are cold and old friends
turn their back on you.
One needs to let go and find new friends, 
that honor you.

Where competition is far from first.
And honoring the least poet is your
most veritable thirst.

A small home, most grateful in which to pen 
humble verses.
You humble soul’s church is.

But dishonoring a poet, not one soul should do.
To much for any heart to go through.

How to trust vain, humanity, that screams any 
site is all about thee.
A home without prizes and bullies with
humanitarian disguises.

Is there such a place? 
If only there was one....blessed with a human face.

It is heartbreaking when this happens. We want to trust others as part of human nature. When that is broken it is like a shattering effect.

Humans are not all nice. Some vicious and cold.. One cannot be shattered,Elena. As a died in the wool survivor...all can be overcome. Looking for approval? Is for the lost and insecure. Once you know who you are, life moves on. Panagiota

Panagiota, Time to wipe the slate clean, but in truth don't ever change a single thing. A toast to you, and to new beginnings in the new year. -Richard

A toast to you,Nobody wants a liar in their,ife.A life full of deception and no truth is a farce! Its another year, yes. Alas, with no integrity it, is a zero sum game. A toast to truth! Love, Pangie

Alas, before any "new" beginning there must be an "ending"......I once read an item regarding a man who lived next to a "Whirling Dervish". When asked how he dealt with them he replied: "I just let them whirl."...Write on Pangie, write on....

Things do end, John! Marriages, presidencies and friendships. But that Dervish tale is superb! There are places where respect reigns and no bully-hood nor punishment for being you is primary. No kidding! Freedom to be 100 per cent you. Thats the only way I know of-to grow. Admiration, drooling, is food for no growth. Just cheap, ego food. Our world thrives on It. Hitler thrived on ego food. Guess people dont know how dangerous ego food is? Pangie.
