keep pouring
bucket after bucket
until full
the crack spills over
becoming a scene
in an old movie
the screen flickering
as each
frame advanced
the water
slowly pouring over the edge
to crash
to the ground
and assembling
become a monolithic
single stream
of evolving water
that lifting
becomes the wind.
Blowing all the water
from the crack
faster than we can fill.

You are a wonderful poet, Doc. I always find in your poems the wisdom of life.
Thank you so much, you have shared some wonderful Bulgarian poetry, i love the ones you’ve shared!
When I have time I will share. I’m too tired these days. There are nights when I don’t sleep with the lady and during the day it is very difficult for me. And I can’t leave the urgent tasks for another day. Today was just such a long run after a nightmarish sleepless night.
i am so sorry to hear that – please take care of you!!!! we will be here!

Inspirational verse we all try to do the best we can and when things look like they might break down it is always important to stand strong and fill in the cracks to make things steady again
Interestingly I wrote this many years ago, as I was going through a divorce. I felt like when I was in public my cracks were always visible.
I’ll tell you Doc after my husband died i realized that there was nothing else in my life that could scare me anymore. He was my rock and that was my greatest fear to lose him so after that I could put myself together and even if a scary spook or something had stood in my way during that time I would just shove them aside and say, The worst has already happened and you no longer scare me.
Divorce was that for me at the time. moving past that opened my heart to the possible and it ended up making my life better in the end.
what does not kill us, makes us stronger!
This poem is outstanding for real. I can’t hold a candle to your great poetry. Very inspiring dear brother!

You are an awesome poet dear brother.
so are you sis! so are you!
Happy mother’s day!!!!
Thank you dear brother.
you betcha! How are you guys doing? Is everyone healthy?
Yes we are healthy but we are under high stress due to someone’s actions.
you had mentioned someone you were worried about, the same person?
Yes it is the same peraon. Thank you!
As many of us as possible must be involved in filling the cracks. Otherwise, we will not achieve the goal and we will be able to work indefinitely.
be part of the solution, or be the problem my dad always said!
We all have to do our part by filling in the cracks in our lives and those around us.
that is so very true!
