Name' sake

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

(Dylan Thomas)

My serenity came, without a name,

Hidden within the winds of change.

"Rain!" I exclaimed, "for all you've to gain!",

But you better get this one right!

For I've no strength to fight.

Anymore . . . 

I could go on all day but I'll stop at 2, lol

thank you Ms Satin, for this challenge 🙏😘🌹

Not a cover, but . . . .

A fave non the less

Thank you Ms Satin for the opportunity 😘🌹

Luscious tell, a hell of a tail,

I felt you twice in a blood filled pail.

Give me just a moment to fail,

And I will post your winds to sail.

Grind my bones to powder your nose,

And I'll curse all your minions chose.

Still my soul and a heartbeat froze,

Laid to waste and scattered,

For your blackened rose.

"I poured my heart out and only got 12 likes"

"how many likes do you think you should have gotten?"

"well, I dont know - at least 25 or 30"

"and how does that make you feel?"

"I feel . . . . Well . . ."

"go on"

"I feel . . . . "

"yes?"

"I feel . . . . . "

"un- validated, like . . . . Like I dont matter"

"and if you got 25 likes you would feel valued? Substantiated?"

"yes"

"do you see the flaw in this?"

". . . . "

"you see, you are basing your worth on what other people think of you"

"let me ask you something"

"ok"

"did someone fail to validate you as a child?"

". . . . "

"I think we are making progress, I will see you next thursday"

"ok"

Thank you TKP for the opportunity 🙂

Wow, didnt expect such response.

I enjoyed reading all very much -

(please forgive me if I overlooked anyones post or comment.)

As anyone whos been here any length of time can testify, the overall energy on this site ebbs and flows - up/down - friendly/hostile - etc. But one thing I have always appreciated is the like minded sense of community - in my opinion, thats what sets this site apart from the rest.

So again, thank you ~
