Saved 1 Written: by Tom Wright February 2015 While facing difficulties In the sea called life, I reached for a life preserver That I saw as hope; Now saved and a combatant Of sin and strife, Because my miracle Was free of an earthly rope;

Premium Member And Then He Grew Up

Nothing is broken so get up
and walk it off, you belong to the club
of hard knocks; life ain’t fair-
drink whiskey, don’t drink beer;
psychedelics open wide your mind. 

She will meet you there to read
all the secrets you believed could bleed
for the passion of your dark Angelica-
with no life preserver you will drown 
within her arrogant esoterica.

Until You Are Ready

Whatever you need, I'll be...
A life preserver thrown out to sea,
umbrella to shelter you from the storm,
the wool blanket to wrap you and keep you warm.
Your favorite song played on repeat,
warm fuzzy slippers to rest your weary feet,
I'll be whatever you need me to be.

I understand you pain, I see your sorrow,
I'll hold your hand until you're ready to let go.

Premium Member Hope Floats

Frail hearts’ bond fractures Hope’s glacier slips ‘neath cold sea Chilled memories drift away Frozen dreams sever Forever vows abandoned Titanic phenomenon Healing ebbs and flows Suicidal solitude Hope struggles, floats to surface Yes, the sun still shines Hold close faith’s life preserver Live to welcome love again
