STRESSED (For Bokkie…with all of my love)
You feel it
the invisible
stone
the emptiness
alone
the heavy
nothing
that feels like
something
is invading you
upbraiding you
pulling your
without
within
and spitting it
out
again
on the inside
driving your spine
through to the outside
taking your breath
cold as death
dark hand gripping
tearing
ripping
there’s nothing
left
but you
bereft
and bleeding
empty
soul needing
Love.

I felt the stress, the pressure of being emptied – this is really good! The photo is so perfect for the words, they should be sealed together and never drawn apart. Wonderful stuff.

Where do you find your pictures???
This sounds like more than stress to me. I think stress is just the cover, that there is something else behind it. Something that is pulling… that invisible thing that I know as well.
thank you!!

divine………..
To explain love by example of coin , like coin has head , tail and thin edge , Desire is like coin head , hate is like coin tail , thin edge is love , where no desire , no hate .
Love is your inner wealth, seed of which you bring in your closed hands to plant in this world to make it a tree of happiness.
seasons come…seasons go….leaves come………leaves go…stress comes…stress goes……….emptiness comes………emptiness goes…….
still………..tree grows…..
love all……….
