Friendly unfolding
Vancouver blogging lady
thank you for your poems

Five syllables here
seven more syllables here
mountains are waiting

Granville island rain
grey people sliding along
someone laughs out loud

crows at the crosswalk
guarding all they have in life
pecking at toupees

mountain hike alone
stillness in the tallest trees
Killarny Lake quest

fog on the ferry
fog on the fairy dances
the best yet to come

Stunning, eh?

:)

If I were handing out prizes for top comments, you'd be it! You made me tear up mister. I have considered buying a van and living on the road; seriously. But need $$$ darn it all. And... a partner in crime would make it EVEN better. When the heart gets lonely it's difficult to balance emotions; to stay positive, yet not deny the loneliness. We're "supposed" to be able to be with ourselves and be happy as we are -- I've got all that down pat. Being alone gets "old" after a while. Where the sadness comes in is not being able to share with someone. As you say, "Knowing you are doing something to better someone else’s life." And... knowing that there is also someone who wants to do something for you in return. It goes beyond casual relationships doesn't? Seems you do your best thinking at 8 am :-) Having a wife and children has made a difference in your life -- adoring each other -- that is priceless. You found what you were looking for. And, don't you have a cat too? :-) Thanks again for your comment -- you're brilliant! Have a wonderful holiday season John. .-= Davina´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ShadesOfCrimson/~3/AhN-hVBvESs/">Haiku, Take Me Home</a> =-. Hi John.

When the heart gets lonely it’s difficult to balance emotions; to stay positive, yet not deny the loneliness. We’re “supposed” to be able to be with ourselves and be happy as we are — I’ve got all that down pat. Being alone gets “old” after a while.

Ok, maybe that's a bit drastic. I had a period where I was very lonely and depressed. It wasn't until I met my wife that my life turned around. And guess where I met her? Match.com Yep. It worked. We now have 2 beautiful children. I think when the heart gets lonely, our emotions and mind really start to take a toll. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Writing might put a band aid on it because you're expressing yourself, but by the next day you're right back where you started. Sometimes what can help bring people out of a slump is knowing they are doing something to better someone else's life which in turn betters yours. It's the game of life, isn't it? Maybe that's why we're here. To play the game of life. Ah crap, it's 8am and you already got me thinking this deep! ;) .-= John Hoff - WP Blog Host´s last blog ..<a href="http://wpbloghost.com/blog/gift-ideas-for-bloggers/">Gift Ideas For Bloggers</a> =-.
