Rain doesn’t stream
Asunder the sea,
Nor be in hurries
Today for my needs.
I’ve seen through storm-troubles
For years less remembered;
By its own great weight
A sea- bed is tempered.
Ashamed of existing,
More waters have laws
Than my calcified heart.
Il mio calore è per l’inverno, sempre;
L’eternità è intatta come l’arte.
The bones of an ocean’s regrets;
Troubles redoubled
Do not go away,
When years are persisting
And the sea is still grey.

Scritto molto bene. Truly. I read it a few times for its craft but also because I felt it, and the metaphor is amazing. I hope you do not carry such sadness in you though. ❤

Your words about my prose post were equally needed and special to me today. I reverted that post to draft then republished then took it down then republished and was about to take it down again, lol. I used to write more personal prose under another pen name. I want to write to inspire others but not in a way that gives details about my past struggles; I’m not ready for that part (not sure I will ever be because I’ve spent my whole life guarded and a private person when it comes to my personal life) even though most of the struggles I have healed enough from.

I think it’s a case of only doing what is right for you, one step at a time. Your strength is yours to own, not anybody else’s.

I’d just encourage you to write in a way that works for you, on your own terms.

(Sorry if that posted 4 times, lol…I don’t know it it’s my devices or WP, but it’s been ridiculously glitchy for me all day.)

It posted once and that was perfect 😊

P.S. Speaking of glitchy, if you have other social media, your links on your site don’t properly link (I don’t think). I was going to connect on IG.

That explains why those social media icons at the bottom of your site don’t work, haha. (Insert laughing emoji if I weren’t on my laptop.)

I got rid of most of my social media; I have found WordPress to be the only place to make genuine connections 🙂 and would rather spend my time here.

I do the same, wanting something meaningful rather than instantaneous responses.
