“What makes life worth living?” Zane Grey
Leaving Me Anguished Blue strobe caressing my windows, the anguished youth reaching inside himself, clutching at the boiling darkness, seeking an expiation that just won't come, hugging the closeness of healing oblivion, his nightmare vocal choking my senses with a tar blackness spreading over my angelic reach, which cannot touch him, voices of necessity collapse him in a vain sugared hope, but I didn't hear one note of redemption in the poverty of his trusting surrender, leaving me anguished, reaching inside myself to find any semblance of meaning.

Anguish is natural, as long as it doesn’t last. ‘Hope this writing made it go away? 😉

I think that’s true, poetry and writing is like a form of journaling for me and lessens the pain.

How encouraging, just to be heard I find the most helpful, and I will never know how that young man fared, though the police were great with him and also called for an ambulance. But for me it is a cumulative feeling now of so many of these incidents. Thank you so very much Brian, very thoughtful,
