Loss...and Found
For You
And for All who have Lost. Yet Found.
Time Heals All Wounds
There are times when it is certain
Whoever said that was a Fool.
The Immediacy of Loss
Is why the word "Unbearable" exists
And when Emotion is Boss, Crossed.
A Capacity to Feel, to Emote
Can be exploited...betrayed
Or Just incompatable, opposed
Sure, at the time, Pain beyond Bearing
It. Will. Never. Cease. To. Be.
But "No One" checks to see how you are fairing
Another word, "Fade"
Takes action after a while
"Pain, Receivable" starts to get Paid
Finding there is Life after Pain
Is somehow "Betrayal". A "Lie" to the "Truth"
Of Irreversible Damage to Heart and Brain
But there it is. A Glimmer, then a Beam
Light out of Darkness
Much better than it Seemed.
No Forgetting, oh, no, not that Good of a Thing
This Time-Heal thing
Will NOT, 100% bring
But something is Found and is Learned, Tempis Fugit
Realized, Time does fly
Wiser, Older...will you Get It?
"One a Day at a Time, Sweet Jeebus!"

Thank you very much indeed, HIjol. I needed that.
Thank you for the compliments, Catarina and LadyT'Anna. Such sentiments do much to fuel Inspiration's Unmistakable Fire ...

Forgive the observation, 2takesfrakes*, but she did give him a chance--in "Blood Fever." Which Vorik proceeded to ruin by coming back at precisely the wrong time!
Incidentally, I have a cassette tape of the Chieftains with James Galway. Nifty stuff, that.

That makes two of us. What a world. :/
The matrix of the brain is a fascinating thing. Key words stand out that remind me of my disastrous mother/daughter relationship of feeling unaccepted and not good enough nor the men I choose.
Anyway, Thanks for posting this poem about Paris. it's good. And you're welcome 2tf.

I relate. Wow....You are quite talented. I enjoy reading your work.
Thank you, Catalina. There is not much else that truly matters in this world, in my opinion, than people relating to each other and to important, meaningful things. It pleases me greatly to read of those who can relate to my words.
Catarina, I know we have very different tastes in writing, but you certainly have my sympathies when it comes to difficult family dynamics. My father sounds rather like your mother in that regard, hence the sonnet (and novella) about my OC having to get out of Dodge. We make our way as best we may.
Although perhaps I'm wandering off-topic there.
Catarina, you bring up an interesting point about how STAR TREK's stories can often echo real life situations, some of which we might personally encounter. Which is why I'm quite fond of this poetry thread, because it exaggerates the point very nicely. And LadyT'Anna, I must confess that it's me mum who's the Sir James Galway fan, more than myself, though she did give me a CD of his, once. Were you to ask her about her Irish heritage, her response would surely be boastful in tone. She speaks Gaelic fluently, in fact. HIjol, thank you for your encouragement. In fact ... prepare yourself for yet another! The third installment in my VOY series:

Drat and double drat! 2takesfrakes, I truly wish I knew more about Voyager so that I could offer you a concrete comment or two. But I always did like Chakotay, and the words and pictures you create are plenty impressive!
I began my Spock novella in an attempt to think through a personal situation and share my experiences with others in a way that I hoped--and still hope, come to that--would bring people pleasure and help them to think. I'm inclined to believe that creativity can make vastness seem rather less vast. (That last part is for you, HIjol. )

Help. Less. Ness.
For those who empathize and care
Sufferings of others, bear
Trying always to support
Steering things to calmer ports
Noticing what others don't
Deciding that they will, not won't
Actions, Words, Thoughts and Deeds
Living, "Can I Help You, Please?"
Sadly, this next fact is true
Way to much for Care-ers to do
Limitless chances to be like Gem
She never stopped, even at life's end.
If you know these words are true
If you know it is inside of you
You also know how much it hurts
When we cannot soothe Other's "worse"
Loved Ones, Friends and Those In Wait
Don't You Even Hesitate
Find a way, Communicate
Be a Part and don't be Late
To help a fellow human out
A person, just like you, no doubt!!!
Our Empathizing Skill you see
Puts "Hu-" in our Humantiy
To My Fellow BBS Posters who are hurting, lost, ill and wanting.
I care.

You're one of the good ones, HIjol. I thank you for that.
what is a poem ?
what is a star ?
what is now ?
what is it? that we know what it is?
Can we be beaming... beaming out --- beaming in... being both neither either nor...
It is life in the moment that makes me full of nothing but empty thoughts and ideas of mundane useless values.
Helping those helping (like HIjol)
finding truth in bliss
or the God of God's
being not in on of but at
the light has no shadow
the marks have no marker
the bliss has no mist to focus
the fun is all gone for the day is done.
nite falls darkness envelopes us all in wonder
or not.

think, it better had, else we are all lost.
This one is *years* old . . .
Equation
The moment hung mutely poised between our mesmerized eyes
like last night's carpet of stars.
The energy of stars is an arcane matter,
far removed in space and time from that which celebrates
a high ceremony in the commonplace.
Yet the energy of eyes is the energy of stars. We search eyes,
as we do stars, instinctively. Beyond the color-seas
of sight-surfaces, we see the starry flares
of synapses' crossing currents.
The distance between eyes equals the distance between stars.
Those who wander both know what currents pulse across
dark idea-pools
to tell a restless dreamer
who conjures whom.

think muses Our relativity
The Lady puts form to our Function
They both posit herenow, yet also outrealm
Do they ken the Scope of their prose?
think creates Aurality
The Lady enthralls with TrekTales
They Both make sensefodder for all 5 (6?)
Do they know the SeeHear inherent?
think is as good as his nom du cathode
The Lady also pairs her nom de plume
They both Post Challenging WiseWords
Do they but Ponder mot Power?
think's DarkFall must needs leave us both: wondering and in wonder.
The Lady sends us IdeaPools (dark) and conjuring restlessness
They Both Speak of Our Nature
Do they tap into our Psyche?

Words speak truth to hearts
That translate love's ancient codes
Tapped across vast space.
