As I appreciate you, so much! And this one was one of those written because I just HAD to find a place to put the emotion. My sister and I were lifelong best friends, but we had a falling out over money owed about a year and a half ago. I was shot in the leg, and pretty messed up, bed-ridden for all of September with a lot of time to think.
I resolved it in myself to make things right with her no matter what, but then Oct. 6th she suddenly passed away. I had such grief, regret, guilt, if only I’d have called her from the ICU even. But I had this wonderful dream (though the parts with my father were more disturbing), and this just flowed so quickly out of me, one of those ultra-rare occasions where is landed on the page as fast as I could jot it down (I suppose ones like this maybe are pre-written in our subconscious?)
I doubted myself in sharing it, that the religious/spiritual aspects might be off-putting, so almost didn’t post it, plus there are some “inside details” that make parts of it opaque, but I suppose it still works regardless. SO glad you engaged with it, and it read as story to you, it really is just a description of this vivid dream that undid any guilt and made me feel like it was all okay, my sister is still out there, and has forgiven anything of me… a real cathartic write for me, but I guess not so overly personal that others can’t still get something out of it.
Thank you, thank you, you have me writing again without it being such a wrestling with the pen.

You have no idea, and I know that is a clichéd phrase, but you really don’t how much some very kind feedback means to me. I’m writing again, and I have a lot to get out. I will return the favour soon, trust.

I look forward to reading more. We’ve all been there my friend, I too know what kind feedback did for me when I needed to hear it from a fellow writer, I just continue to pay that kindness forward. It’s become a part of who I am. Appreciate you.

I wrote to another commenter, and I’ve told many people about it over the years, that I had a poetry home way back in 1996 that wasn’t too big, super-cool people, but it shut down and I moved to a bigger site in 2007 (which I just deleted my account, along with 8,000 some poems a few weeks ago, tired of the drama).
I NEVER thought I’d post one more poem again online in my life. But my good m8 M.E. posted a link to a poem of his here, and I poked around a bit, and thought, YES, this is the kind of place I have missed.
I really appreciate you, too, man. This is the kind of site, perfect size user-base, where I can read and give feedback without feeling overwhelmed or sucked into cliques, or any of that awful, AWFUL drama.
Thank you again. You’ve really, well, I feel like the night has stolen any more of my words, but just thank you.
