In Pain Poem by Sandra Feldman

In Pain

Rating: 5.0


Hobbling along,
Disoriented,
Wounded in my Soul,
Hit by an invisible arrow,
Pain is so personal,
Disappointed,
Not anointed,
Not happy at all,
In pain,
In my distress,
Silence, my only caress,
Silence, my only friend,
That loves me the best,
But cannot feel my pain.
Nor help me become happy again.

Sweet Sandra, I send you some ancient Chinese wisdom: ... To take the body seriously is to admit one can suffer. What does that mean, to take the body seriously is to admit one can suffer? I suffer because I am a body; if I weren’t a body, how could I suffer? ... Lao Tzu [Laozi], Tao Te Ching [Dao De Jing], Chapter 13 [fragment], Ursula, K. Le Guin, trans. If you escape your body by freeing your thoughts to fly away it may ease your pain- it always eases mine. You will make those who love you happy if we see you happy!

Your pain has got a universal touch here.It's the pain of every mortal being.Once or twice in our life we have to face it.None to share but to endure silently.Sandra it's a fabulous job.10 for you.

Very touching Sandra and I connect with it so much with my chronic pain and heart ache. A beautiful immaculate piece.

Yes, pain is so personal... Another person may be able to share it, but never in equal proportion! Our pain often lies invisibly hidden behind a happy facade! A touching write!
