    Poem Commentary

    This is my water poem. It has taken a while to get on the site because I keep forgetting to put it up when I do get access to a computer. This poem just goes to show that my time in the Navy has affected me a little more than perhaps I would like to admit. Being accused of fraud when I have legal proof that I have not defrauded anyone is still wearing on my mind.

    Pain of My Conviction

    It drizzles
    Pitters and patters
    Around my broken soul

    It whispers
    Howls and screams
    Accusations in my ears

    But it's lies
    Riddles and half-truths
    Are reflected in my eyes

    Just as the pain
    Of my conviction
    Is reflected in the rain

    Be at rest friend, find peace within yourself, that is the only place we can find it. A beautiful write, and much said from the heart in a few words.

    I can feel the deep painful emotion reflecting from this piece. It hurts to read it because i can relate. Sometimes we just can't find the right words to describe how bad we feel deep down. You my friend, did it flawlessly!!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
