POLAR
I feel euphoric when I am North
Everything is easy and my brilliance comes forth
I know I will accomplish anything with ease,
Nothing can stop me, and that is the tease.
My aura of confidencs attracts many people to me,
At first,
Then something changes, and my actions become frenzied,
My brilliance is cursed.
Those same people cease to cheer,
I become too easily excitable,
Their unease turns to fear,
any opposition I meet I deem to be fighable.
Then comes the change,
Sometimes slowly,
My mind turns south,
my thouughts turn lowly,
My high minded tasks are only halfway done
My thoughts turn dark, I just want to run.
Or lay in bed.
Sometimes I wish I were dead.
What keeps me going while in this state,
Is the knowledge,
That returning back North is my certain fate.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
bravo.
You know that some scientists speculate that the ice age was caused by a great pole shift. That the earth actually shifted on its own axis. Just think if that happened in our lifetime. Our brains might even out and tall the normal people would go crazy! Ha Ha, the meek shall inhereit the earth!
Beautiful poem. Dont stop writing.
it reminds me of how exhausting and baffling this disorder is .. but it cannot take our creativity away can it.??!.
