Push Past The Ache

'….and I hate life has continuity with strife
striking you with pain strong enough to bring down the goliath’ in you
your david’ size struggles are much smaller than you think'

. . .Miss Rain, I can only hope that this isn't your pain. . .brilliant use of David & Goliath (words). . .Impressed. . .always a pleasure to read your inks. . .xo, Devlin.

You know what?! After reading your comment, this could actually be me, though It was the muse of someone else's pain.

Thankya sweety!

Thank you beautiful Rain for such an uplifting write bringing sunshine through the clouds :)

love you lady Brenda

Crim, there are so many poets on DU at this very moment who are hurting. I had no idea just how many. It's funny, I read something yesterday and I know in my heart the root of it's existence, yet it left me completely numb. That's a good thing! I've learned to harness my strength and condition myself to not allow my emotions to dictate my actions.  'push past the ache', beautiful! Xo

Working really hard to hone that ability--not let me emotions dictate my actions....work in porgress!!

.......it's life long progression too. I've got to work on me every single day. :)
Your presence in my area code makes me smile Shell. Xo

I agree!!

Thank you for stopping by Ephemeral! Appreciate ya.... :)

love the song beautiful one thank you :)

love Brenda

Thanks Crim, I have it on my profile! My personal anthem so to speak....  
So befitting for you during this time...Xo

Rain glimmers...

Love
Jennifer

Thank you Jen! :)  
Compassion is what’s missing in the world, but isn’t it a beautiful thang’ when you receive it unexpectedly?  This ink inspiration came from “journal gibberish” by poetryman, although some of the content stim from “Goodbye” by Crimsin. I appreciate the ink-support suga’

These words deliver a deep message (someone I once knew could always speak light into darkness with the profundity and wisdom of words)  You have penned a very hopeful and wise message to the fallen.........."We fall down but we get up" comes to mind  I think my fav portion of this was:

"...don’t allow the light within to perish
don’t give in and surrender to darkness

even the Sun with its majestic power,
has had its shine taken by the tiniest clouds...
only to return with a brighter glow"

Brilliant words to live by Rain.  Just remember that sometimes the angry rumblings of distant storms are a precedent to healing.  If healing can be........

(Someone you once knew?) My condolences! I’ve always thought healing came from a peaceful place, while Anger only perpetuate pain. I’d be ecstatic if my words brought the slightest bit of comfort to someone today. Your commentary speaks hope, thanks Sheldon!   ~jezebel

uh uh......nope : )

your david’ size struggles are much smaller than you think

This is just what I needed. Love the poem and it powerful message not to give in or give up. Which unfortunately is the hardest thing to do sometimes. Thanks again for your inspirational words.

Thanks for sharing

Devil, I’m so pleased to hear you needed these words. :)
I think I accomplished my mission by your reply alone. Pen love~

Such a beautiful and inspirational write *Lady T*...<---I see what you did there! :)
Thank you darling! We should all strive to inspire one another....

Rain, my cherished Friend....

The inspiration within your ink, has touched me...soul deep---pushing past the overwhelming pain...and then finding the inner strength to rise above it !


"don't allow the light within to perish
don't give in and surrender to the darkness..."  

the wonderful wisdom of these lines has helped to rekindle a spark in my  hope-lite! (and at this time, i am most grateful for this....)                                                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
Thank you for penning such a positive piece of encouragement ! xo

Now, this response makes my soul sing. All I wanted was to share some encouraging words. I've been down and out so many times, and I know that being depressed, mad, sad etc..... at life, won't change a damn thing.
Thank you for this DarkE!

Love this...
Ur piece of inspiration is beautiful n shows a heart just as beautiful... :)

aww.... thank you so much Rich! :)

Misery is a French kisser with a snake for a tongue... the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and so it was for Goliath, felled by David's stone. Overcast skies hide how high up one must rise to feel the warmth of the sun as it sets on a dark horizon. Rain clouds forecast a flood that can drowned a world deflated into flatlands... without wings, even angels fall...

David battled something much bigger than he, yet he stood victorious. He didn't lay down, he didn't give up.Just like life and all the problems and burdens we face, they seem much bigger, but we can overcome if we just keep fighting. That's the essence of this ink babe. Keep fighting!

You always manage to kiss a soul with your words ; )

I need to hold on to this mamacita. ....xo

Hey lovely lady,  it touched my heart to know this ink moved you enough for RL. :)
I do hope you are doing well! Have a great weekend luv!

rainy lady, usually i'd tuck my balls & not question you but....
1. push "pass", could be my reading funny but should it mayhap be "past"
?
[&]
2. is there a "that" missing in s1 l1?
... it's just imho & ya know where to tell me to stick my nose if i'm poking it where it don't belong :)

anyhoooooos
this is such a beautiful encouragement; one can feel the warmth breaking through an overcast sky...
"and all that’s left behind....
is shard emptiness breathing in a soul, already wounded"
^^^^^
struck me so hard. spirits weren't meant to be pin cushions for stained glass fragments of better days
... as always, you leave such stunning impressions
bowing to your pen
xoxox

dancedoll, the grammatical error/usages of pass' was totally my retard brain cells being active. So glad you brought that to my attention. :)  And no, there's no 'that' missing in the first line. I actually like the flow without it.

....thank you sexy one, thrilled you enjoy, appreciate you.....Xo

O' sweet pearls of wisdom, how could one not push passed' the ache with your voice lifting them above it all! Exquisitely penned, Lovely Rain!  - blue angel

Blue Angel, I smiled at your comment!  
Thank you lovely lady, coming from an astute poet as yourself, I'm flattered!

.....I hate misery kissed your cheek
changing your smile into a grimace,
and all that’s left behind....
is shard emptiness breathing in a soul, already wounded

(and so on);
amazing piece...inspirational and pleasing flow.
RainC: your ink glimmers and leaves a smile upon hearts...thank you
for penning this! i look forward to immersing myself more into
your art. -- miss.barrie

Your beautiful comment taste so good, barrie! :)
A smile is very powerful! I do hope my words help create a few.

"i look forward to immersing myself more into
your art."   <---Ditto! Xo

An inspiring piece Rain, wonderful and thought provoking and so very right.  Beautiful work.  :) x

"Inspirations", we need them everyday! Thank you Mag for the pen love! :)
Did I mention I love your profile pic?  That color looks great on you....

Thank you lovely lady, I took it a few days ago, makes a change from the dark colours I'm always in.  53 next year so I thought I  would brighten my picture up.  I'm still wrinkle free, no photoshop needed... yet, haha.  :)

OMGosh! I would have neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr thought you were a day over 40, seriously....
You've age gracefully! Beautiful.... Xo

Nice to see you in my area code Gabe! Thanks darlin'! Appreciate you.....

This is fine, inspiring work, Rain.  Empowering but gentle.

" even the Sun with its majestic power,
has had its shine taken by the tiniest clouds...
only to return with a brighter glow"

Setbacks may seem insurmountable but don't last in the Sun's light.

"push past the ache
...and rise up"

I might adopt this as a personal slogan or mantra, if you don't mind.  I've been saying "crimson and clover, over and over" but that doesn't always work.  I'll keep pushing in any case.  Thanks Rain!
 

I love this comment crowfly! Thanks darling!
Truly appreciate you lending me your eyes....
Yes, keep pushing......Xo
