    • I didn’t say you were wrong, punk! The proper name is “Paint Horse”. I agreed! But there are some who call it painted horse too. So perhaps that’s a lesser name or something. I just go by what I research, I don’t judge.LOL.
      You’re saying I’m wrong just to build the drama on a slow night.
      Dont make me bring the BaBoom! on ya!
      Anyway, lover, your write…
      Wonderfully dreamlike, even if in day. That “zone” that we settle in, for creative moments. It’s addictive to want to stay there half a day!
      You described it well. And my dear, we are immortal for as long as we are around! What a blessing!

    • I remember a certain dream you were telling me about today! Pillows were thrown! Hahaha
      Yes, dreams can affect the awake state! I had to post!
      And I am an avid dreamer honey. You know this too 🙂
      Thank you for the snaps on my write!

      But honey you love my drama! Haha
      You are a great sparring partner. It’s kind of addicting.
      Your wit and words, I love it and you:)
      Fixing to call ya in a bit. My iPad is fixing to die!

    • yeah, that dream. And also our last baboom. LOL. Sigh!
      Smooches!

    • This is a good piece. If I can go to bed as well and just fall into a dreamlife. That would be great.

      • Hi Fia!

        Thank you. I’m so happy you enjoyed. I’ve always been curious about dreams. How our brains manage all of it while we are sleeping. Sometimes they feel so real and other times not so much. lol
        It’s a great asset to be in tune with when it comes to writing. At least for me it is.
        Thanks for stopping my Fia:). I’m not posting as much but I’m trying!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. Excellent write as usual my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • We’re aware of painted horse and through family of riders riding them not just to battle, but to the here after and into the dream realm. Your guardian into and our of the dreamweaver or afterlife. Great pieces lady with lots of imagery, we could see this, tight

      • Hey Meme!

        I just felt like going there in this write. To kind of tap into the other side of sleeping. Dreams are fun. I don’t have many nightmares at all. Mostly weird stuff that makes me laugh when I wake up. Other times it is extraordinary and inspiring. I feel in order to be a writer we must dream. They go hand in hand.

        Thanks for getting this write amigo. Glad you could see it.
        That’s the whole point of writing for me:)

    • This is a fiesta of dreamlife that ascends into cloud realms of loving bliss. I just felt the total joy here that comes as you rest your head to sleep and dream. This is how the best dreams come and you expressed this with great virtuosity. Truly a fabulous poem.

      John

      • Some of my favorite poems come from dreams. I’ve learned to keep a spiral notebook next to me in case something
        Really grabs me and I need to write it down. Dreams have a huge influence on my writing:)
        Thanks for all the positive feedback on my writes amigo:)

    • Willow, this had me tearing up. This struck many chords.

      • My daughter and I were up much of the night following the murder, crying and holding each other. She was only a couple years older than my daughter. And the evil took her from her rightful place in life. Silenced her words. Stole a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife. That can’t be returned. But we can keep her name alive in minds.

    • Brilliant and sad.

      It’s a dangerous time for American citizens,especially those that dare to be different or decent.

    • This is an appropriate piece for the times, but sadly it’s going to get so much worse. So many more of the defiant ones will lose there lives for freedom. But when you don’t know history it’s bound to repeat itself, maybe Revelations saw all of this.

      • I agree. It’s going to get much worse. They worst kinds of people have been empowered. ICE is officially the death squad for those at the top.

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. A heartfelt tribute to a fallen sister of the pen, but most of all a mother and a human being taken from her child and loved ones. It’s fucking disgusting behavior by a bunch of twisted fucks who aren’t qualified for the job and looking to spill innocent blood. I truly don’t recognize this world anymore. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I wish I didn’t recognize it. These are the same people who were once shamed and termed as criminal for their actions. Now they work for the ultimate evils. Corruption has the reign now. But we’ll take it back. In all likelihood, it will take a war or two to get there. Thank you, my friend. We’re all feeling the pain of such a senseless act. We live in a lawless land now

    • The best poem on her I’ve heard. This is very moving Willow. I can only hope to write like this someday.

    • Such a brilliant and touching piece Willow. As many said here, this is going to get worse until someone or many revolt and fight the opposition. November elections are so very important! Until then, be alert and one step ahead of this ruthless, tyrannical dictator!

      • I agree. This is not a time to turn a blind eye or put your head in the sand. The things happening…insane. Minnesota is my home grounds, so it hit hard when they waged war on my people first. They’re not done. Only the beginning

    • This hurts in the quiet way that lasts longer than outrage. You’re not trying to explain grief—you’re standing inside it and letting it speak for itself. The repetition of “we will shout your name” feels like a vow, not a slogan, and the turn from shouting to whispering at the end is where this poem really guts me. That’s the truth of mourning: public rage fades, but private grief keeps breathing. This is restrained, honest, and necessary. Keep writing like this.

      • I have no words to express my gratitude on this comment. Thank you so much for feeling where this piece came from

    • A light removed, undeserved. Regardless of her motivations, none of it warranted a death sentence.

      A wonderful, albeit bittersweet, write, Willow.

    • This is a very scary time. I think we need to be sad, angry, but also hopeful. And also most importantly we need to take action. This is a fight for humanity. We will lose friends and we will be called names and some of us will die for our freedom. But every Democrat needs to understand this doesn’t change without voices and voting.

      Great poem, friend.

      • “Some of us will die for our freedom…” my daughter and I have been having these kinds of conversations. I have family members who just want to keep their heads down and not make a fuss to avoid notice. If we all do that, who will be left to defend and fight for what should be an inherent human right? I can’t even tell you how many pieces I’ve written in the past year about it. Thank you, my friend

    • Mic Drop, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent rant…spitting facts my friend. Dig the voice my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I’ve penned more rants in the past few days than I’d prefer. I really wish they’d stop with the “inspiration” already. But, alas, I fear I’ll lose my voice before they sit the hell down and shut up. Thank you, my friend

    • Powerful writing, dear Willow! And a sad truth. The Christian hardliners are often exactly the same people who take Christian charity the least serious. Deeply human principles would be so easy to understand. “Love is the only rational act.” ( Mitch Alboum, Tuesdays with Morrie)

      • Hardliners tend to be the ones who prefer to translate to their benefit and bias only. They’re incapable of seeing anything else. Too many wars have occurred over religion. Not enough spirituality and compassion for one another. Thank you, Elke

    • There are very few folk who sound good when they post like this in my opinion .. You sound great .. and I dig the message you have woven so well through todays fine offering .. I hope whoever motivated you to put pen to paper has learned something as well as a lesson .. Now go well and write on .. Yeah’ no need to be gentle with a voice like that .. Neville

      • I’m struggling hard with the sound of my own voice. We’ll see if I stick with it. It makes me uncomfortable, for some reason. But some messages need one’s own signature on them, I think. Thank you for your support, Neville

    • The biggest hypocrites in existence are of the church, the most patriotic people have never served their country’s. The loudest ones screaming now supported their downfall. Tight piece Lady

    • First, of all your voice is perfect for this. Second, this is an eye-opener message. If only people would see.

      • They either see because it resonates, or they remain blind because it pinches guilty nerves. They prefer to live in denial and cause others grief. Thank you, Fia
