It's easy to write about the rain under the sunshine, where cats and dogs and blackened fogs fail to turn papers mushy, and quills numb, blinded by a light too bright to see. It's easy to write about mountains
on low hills and plains, where aesthetics defeat vanity, hanging off a cliff of distorted thoughts. It's easy to write about the gory: blood and gruesome black pints of crimson waters, when you aren't the one who bleeds. Outweighing monthly cycles, circles of blood pool around your feet, drowning you in a dark pit where self pity by indignation attempts to swallow you in shallow depths. It's easy to write about the rainbow: a concordant orchestra of colours, when it comes once in a blue moon, like a figment of broken fantasies, a pin in a hayloft. It's easy to write about the living ...when you are not the living; dead. Buried beneath the pretense of life. But it's not easy to write about the pain that clefts an oasis around you when joy brings tears. It's not easy to write about the living ...when you are dead "...for what doth the living with the dead" Oh yes, the most are : dark and dead inside, searching for redemption. It's not easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel, when you're not sure if there is a light, or it's just a patch of white; the sun's left footprint in your eyesight. It's not easy to see any light when the darkness won't let you see, it's never really easy, is it?

It is(not) easy to speak the things which our eyes do (not) see but our minds and hearts hope for.

The writer is a well-bred literary icon. I doff my cap.
