If you're happy - don't look at this

    In a little while from now
    If I'm not feeling any less sour
    I promise myself to treat myself
    And visit a nearby tower
    And climbing to the top will throw myself off
    In an effort to make it clear to whoever
    What it's like when you're shattered
    Left standing in the lurch at a church
    Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
    "She stood him up"
    "No point in us remaining"
    "We may as well go home"
    As I did on my own
    Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday
    I was cheerful, bright and gay
    Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
    The role I was about to play?
    But as if to knock me down
    Reality came around
    And without so much as a mere touch
    Cut me into little pieces
    Leaving me to doubt
    Talk about God in His mercy
    Who, if He really does exist,
    Why did He desert me?
    In my hour of need
    I truly am indeed
    Alone again, naturally

    It seems to me that there are more hearts
    Broken in the world that can't be mended
    Left unattended
    What do we do? What do we do?

    Looking back over the years
    And whatever else that appears
    I remember I cried when my sister died
    Never wishing to hide the tears
    And at 46 years old
    My sister, God rest her soul
    Couldn't understand why the only God
    She had ever loved had been taken
    Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
    Despite encouragement from me
    No words were ever spoken
    And when she passed away
    I cried and cried all day
    Alone again, naturally
    Alone again, naturally

    Not everyone got their wish today

    Hey man Ive got to go out right now. but if you are in Oz and are in Melbourne email me tomorrow so I can tell you my address, and get over here to the Apostofest BBQ on Saturday. Better plan than being down in the dumps .....At least you can tell someone who understands, what happened.

    Sorry, I got to split right now....

    Hey man,

    Your god did not abandon you - He set you free from a cult. A painful process, but necessary if you are to grow as a person.

    Hey, God loves you. It's a cliche, but the reason cliches become cliches is that they are the hammer and screwdriver in the toolboxes of communication.

    Your poetry is frightening in its intensity, honest in its emotion.

    Please be not so sad. Hanging out at an Apostafest is the best way to begin a new life. I will pray for you.

    Yannis the Adonis my dear sweet friend

    With great sadness of this life is the earthly trend

    For all who wish to feel happiness and joy

    It would seem life treats them like an unfortunate toy

    For all people we love most in this life

    Seem to be tortured and oh, so full of strife

    But if you can find just one true friend

    Who all your desires you can speak freely without end

    Then take them by the hand Yannis my sweet

    And never let them go, for they are lifes most precious treat

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There is a Spanish proverbio that goes, De buen vino, buen vinagre Which simply means, From good wine, comes good vinegar.

    I think life is very much like good wine. Full , robust, a nice bouquet.there is laughter and joy. Good times and sharing. Still, there is the crying, the sadness and loneliness.

    Life like wine needs proper care or it becomes vinegar or sour to the taste.

    Wine is good for drinking with a meal but, vinegar on the other hand is only good for salads.

    Our friend refiners fire said, if you are in Oz and are in Melbourne email me .and get over here to the Apostofest BBQ on Saturday...At least you can tell someone who understands, what happened.

    If you can bring yourself to Yannis, e-mail our friend and go to this BBQ. If you have people in your life you can laugh with and cry,.. life becomes a delicious thirst,quenching wine for a hearty banquetnot so sour you wish to spit it out.

    Our czarofmischief gave corny but true advice, Hey, God loves you. It's a cliche, but the reason cliches become cliches is that they are the hammer and screwdriver in the toolboxes of communication.

    Could it be Yannis that refiners fires invitation to you is a gift from God ? To show you your needed and cared for? Maybe this is cliche but, I have always believed God has a hand in our lives. Refiners fire is a sensitive soul and even if he doesnt think so he could be a gift to you in friendship from Our Creator.

    On-line friends are very nice but, up close and personal ones can see the twinkle of your eye..the small smile in the corner of your mouth or even the tear your trying to hide and the frown behind your enormous grin.When needed they can hold your hand,give a hug, listen to sadness or laugh at your corny jokes. Most importantly true friends can even sit with you in silence when all you need is the sound of another human there with you, living and breathing.just seeing in person someone cares for you and wishes you in their life.

    If you can Yannis please go out and have a wonderful time with friends who have been right where youre at now.

    What could it hurt? I think it could only heal.

    Take care now dear friend and try to smile that amazing grin of yours.

    Agape,

    I am sorry you are down. I know the feeling of despair and loneliness and fear that arises when you see reality. The reality cannot change - but we can accept it in different ways.

    I have my email locked on here but if you are interested in corresponding with a donkey then please post such here and I will find a way for that to happen.
