Description
WIT'S END
End of your rope
Nothing left to give
What you needed
Was compassion
Longing
For the shoulder
That has always
Been there for you
You called
Only to discover
I was hanging
By my own thread
Already in tears
With no reserves
I heard your voice
And hoped for solace
Today
I can give you
What you need
With open arms
Tomorrow
You will be there
When I need
Your strength
There are days
When we are both strong
And on those days
We dance
..........

I like it!
And isn't that the truth---we can never always been everything for everyone. Well said!!
Wonderful work! Well Done!
Powerful stuff, Tara..............eloquent, deeply moving.
How true that is and how elegantly, naturally, and gracefully-stated. I can understand this in a number of ways, and that's how this resonates so profoundly! Fantastic work and a reminder that it's always better to simply be Human! I love this!
Poignant observations poetically expressed.
Oh my dear friend - your words cut into my soul and speak to me on such a deep level! Excellently done... with so much grace! I am looking forward to the dance days!!! Ek het jou lief! :)
Excellent work, Tara! been there too many times to think about
Tara it is such a lovely poem. Very touching.
Marvellous. How true.
And you say I have a way with words! You express so much with so little, the simplicity leaving the reader in no doubt of the meaning. I am sure that, like any good writing, its a personal experience, but you manage to create a relevance for everyone... Now that's an art! If I could do what you do, my book would have been one upload:-)
Excellent, some people around here have made me feel like this lately!
... snorkel gear was not enough, no down there way down there where the brilliant colors wave sway down there by the corals for awhile .
your words brought tears as the days go bye I sit and wonder wish I had a real shoulder but I have me own and hope one day I can walk away wonderful work warm hugs, Linda Kaye
I think in our relationships no matter what type they be , we all experience those times. Some days are just more frustrating then others. On those days you usually feel you stand alone. Awesome work!
excellent very moving you write so well
Very real..very true and touching!
Excellent and so true.
Touching... But sadly it is not always a two-way-street and the support is not always returned.
as a friend once said, "truth abounds"...it's all in the 'overall', isn't it...today someone can't listen, tomorrow you can't listen, but in the overall, the energy is two ways. 4 of your stanzas begin with 1 or 2 words, and they draw us in like a tap on the shoulder. It's so nicely paced, given in small gestures; and each stanza speaks of a whole world of interaction. And your last stanza is beautiful. A beautiful work, tara. And spoken in gentle offerings...
Laugh, Dance, and Live...excellent write
Fantastic poem, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
