Nicola, thank you for that. I have an amazing support system. I want that my pain can bring relief and comfort to others. My desire is that the hope I've found can spark some hope in others.
Po, my noose was loosened, but not by my hands. I am one of the fortunate ones.

Nicola, I did run and run and run. I couldn't run far or fast enough, and all my running brought me to the end of myself where I was found again.

Nicola, that is how I used to live, and I was really good at it. Now I’m learning to live vulnerably and honestly with myself and the ones around me.

The plight of those seeking to escape hopeless existence and regardless of perils faced to breathe freedom free from tyranny is beautifully expressed. Full of emotive imagery.

Don, in what way did my poem on Coarse Work, offend?
And since you described it as 'what a load of rubbish,' it would be really nice to have your constructive take on it.
Might prevent my going down a dodgy road again in future. P.

Yes, Mark, you are exactly correct in tracing the origins of this song to the brilliant song writing pairing of Kern & Fields.. ""The Way You Look Tonight" is a song from the film Swing Time that was performed by Fred Astaire and composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics written by Dorothy Fields. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. Fields remarked, "The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn't stop, it was so beautiful.""

Comment is about Drowning Pt. 2 (blog)
Original item by Shehariah
Po, this poem is a reflection of what I did to my life, to myself, when I was in my addiction. Before my sobriety I was willing to throw everything away - my marriage, my relationship with my kids, my career, my life. I was dead inside.

Thanks for reading and liking Po ad Blue.sky Girl.
Nice phrase Mark- wry detachment, spot on. Funny how after 17 years it stuck in my mind . It just took me by surprise. Another flat owner had her ex husband's ashes in an urn as a doorstop. A strange place really.
You can tell a lot from dress sense Graham, as i'm sure you know. I think it's the tie that still seems to stand out as a symbol - do you remember Tie Rack? Happy days.

Pieces like this can only by written by people who have actually been there and done it.
This one has a genuine authenticity that can only be expressed by someone who has suffered that experience.
There used to be a veteran who used this site (I think he got banned eventually) who would get angry when non-serving members of the public attempted to write about war.
In my opinion he was wrong. Anyone has the right to write about anything, but only such as yourself can write authentic pieces like this.
I thank you for posting, and for what you have done for us.
Cheers Kevin

Why does sweat still pour
