In the gentle midnight hour
I shall find you by my side.
◆
The self of altered state
to bring comfort as my guide.
◆
Lead me not into the fire
nor beside the rising tide.
◆
But to the distant evermore
where sleep comes easy in the night.
◆
Where trains pass through the moment
leaving sounds of childhood.
◆
Where confidence comes easy
and impossible is could.
◆
Make a path into my future
lined with flowers, herbs, and cover.
◆
Bring a place into my life;
to become a better Daughter,
Sister, Mother, Friend, and Lover.
Wonderful write. I could really relate to this.
Eva Marie, thank you very much!
Where trains pass through the moment

Larry, my friend, thank you once again. I’ve never been on a train, but love to hear them as they rumble by. Cindy
Cindy, Thank you for the honor of selecting myself along with some other powerhouse writers to provide our comments/feelings about your poem. IT IS GREAT! Your imagery is incredible. Everything was so vividly life like. Your ending where you express you wants was very touching. You have that ability to reach people and touch them. Thank you also for lightening the scary and ominous nighttime sky. I hope you will surround people like me with more of your magic. Thank you again for sharing your gift.

Cindy, your poem was special! I just wrote what I felt. You created a piece of poetry that riveted me to it. For that I wanted to thank you.
Joel, thank you so much! Your words of inspiration let me know that it’s all been worth it – writing poetry for over 40 years. You’ve made my day!
