In praise of all things BetterMost
« on: March 27, 2008, 01:00:26 pm »
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this,if not forgive me.
I have found such comfort here,that I wanted to write a few words,in praise of  all those who have helped me regain,some sense of peace and perspective.
The verse sums up my feelings,of searching for and eventually finding,a place that feels as comfortable as my home.

IN PRAISE OF ALL THINGS BETTERMOST.

Thoughts constant,bemusing in their profusion,

leading in directions of despair,confusion.

Wandering,searching spaces,in the belief

will be found solace,respite,relief

from this state of remorseless pain.

Which leaves no time,to ever regain

some sense of reality,or perspective,

nor stand back,regroup,so find objective

yet understanding,hearts,minds,ears

that listen.Humane,permitting tears

to fall unabated, healing.Soul needs to mend

with no need to explain,defend

to those,who have no understanding.

Emotions,unrelenting,so demanding

of attention,walking,talking,sleeping.

So continues the journey,still seeking

solutions,introspection leans towards vanity.

Questions,too absorbed,plunging,insanity

beckons.Then a glimpse,tangential,soothing host,

campfire,warming logs,to cold banish,BetterMost.

Haven,peace,tranquillity,applies bandage,balm,

so heart,once broken,fixed now.Breath slows,as calm

descends on eagle wings.Condemned,not here,fair,


appeasing,so stands,smiles,with ease casts off despair.

That's beautiful Fiona!  :) I've only been here a few weeks (though it feels like a lot longer), but my first words here were "It feels like I've found home", and I still stand by that.

This place has made such a big difference to me - I don't feel "lost" any more, and it's the people here that have made that difference.

Sanity's over-rated though.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!  :P

Do we enjoy more insanity than sanity?  Or vice-versa?

May I smile having written that??

As a joke, but I wonder if we enjoy more sanity than insanity?

Au revoir,
hugs!
