Christmas Blues
so many emotions running thru my heart
after reading your very emotional ink
not in the same way you feel it though
we all have a sense of loneliness within us
way down deep it silently creeps
like a worm in an apple burrowing in
it's munching isn't heard but felt within
eating at your heart like a haunted dream
your memory never forgets its fright
just as certain times of the year bring sadness
friends you need near leave you no words
without a cheer or wishes for joy in life
not knowing how much they truly mean to you
warm smiles from strangers passing by
brings an uplifting feeling of comfort in a small way
have found within the sadness of my soul
there is always a smile from another
who's made me feel worthy of luv
thankful for those who send me hugs
Inspiration ~ "Christmas 2016"

Ahhh . . . And as beautiful and sweet as you are, my friend, I am sure you are given smiles on a daily occurrence. We all have our down times when we think no one cares for us. I had such a down time only today. Someone tried to chase my blues away and something made me bite that hand that offered consolation. So you see, sweet flower, I understand your thoughts within this poem perfectly.

Awe Jerry......what a gracious response that grips my heart deeply......some times we do bite the hand that offers comfort cause our hurt gets in the way......we don't understand the other is hurting too for their own reasons......when a soul knows you and excepts you as a friend......they don't walk away......they stand beside you and wait for your smile to return......thank you for such beautiful words you leave me my friend......purple luv & hugs xo :)

You are so right, flower. I truly was not trying to walk away from my friend. It just seemed that way maybe.

Well I certainly can relate to being alone on Christmas...
There is a fine line between purple and blue and this time of year is always 50 shades of blues...

Lovely, Purple One. Sending you "luv" and hugs this holiday season.

Sad start but ends on uplifted note. I too have experienced that sense of loss and loneliness at Christmas times that followed personal reverses in my life - or got remembered in sadness tinged ways because of similar things happening just after Christmas (eg my dad died suddenly on Jan 8, 2000, before Christmas 1999 I had just (amicably) finished with someone who did not want to go on with a relationship with me). I too also get this ability to warm to smiles from strangers encountered out and about during such times - even that on your profile pic adds to that feelgood.
