Here We Go Again

Here We Go Again Sometimes I see it coming. sometimes I feel it start. It’s like a storm is brewing, I start to fall apart. So much to be happy for, these tears I can’t control. The product of the brokenness that used to be my soul. One day on the mountain top there’s nothing I can’t see. Next day when I’m waking up the mountain sits on me. With darkness all around me and the shadows closing in. I grab my heart and hold on tight cause here we go again. All those fears come rushing back there’s no place I can hide. It’s not much new it’s what I do just one more storm to ride. I bared my soul so many times no more I must confess. It’s not about the goodness or the strength that I possess. I’m right back where I used to be. I’m right back where I’ve been. I’m not where I want to be and here we go again. Edwin C Hofert

I have not seen you around on the "Soup" for quite a while, Edwin. I hope you have come through this, quite obviously, bleak and despairing period, and are now beginning to feel stronger and more positive again; your poem makes a powerful impression! My very warmest regards, Edwin! Your friend. :) john

My Poems Not Fade Away Am blinded by bright light God made, In His son, so I will sit in the shade; And pray, Without delay; My poems away won't let them fade. Jim Horn

Wow! This is a great poem you wrote. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Shinning brightly for you. Have a nice day my friend.

Well! You grabbed our hearts "Years Ago" and we never could get them back so I see very little difference? You? Meanwhile cheer your good looking self up. Just roll over and send that mountain crashing into the deep blue Sea! Miss you too! Judy
